Metadata: 2014-2015, Fugro EMU, Sheringham Shoal, Bathymetry and Sidescan Sonar Survey
Abstract:
Fugro EMU Limited (Fugro EMU) was commissioned by Scira Offshore Energy Limited to conduct a bathymetry and sidescan sonar (SSS) survey of the Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm and export cables. The survey was required to fulfil Marine Management Organisation (MMO) requirements for post-construction monitoring.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19038 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2014-2015, Fugro EMU, Sheringham Shoal, Bathymetry and Sidescan Sonar Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Bathymetry and Sidescan Sonar Survey |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 25850dae-1c92-4811-a696-c5385023074c |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1982 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-11-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-01-06 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The bathymetry data collected were of good quality. Any obvious noise present in the data was removed and the remaining data were corrected for variations in positioning quality. Following processing, bathymetric sounding standard deviation values were also assessed to ensure that data were consistent and no erroneous soundings were present. From analysis of the bathymetric difference calculation between the 2013 and 2014 surveys; on regions of flat seabed where no visible effects from construction or sand wave migration were evident, vertical differences were typically less than less than 0.15 m. This showed that the positioning of the two datasets was good and the processing methodology was correct. The sidescan sonar data were of good quality and fit for purpose. Detection of small objects such as fishing gear pots (less than 0.3 m in length), the ropes connecting them (less than 0.1 m in diameter) and cable exposures was possible throughout the main site. Sidescan sonar was not collected along the full transit route and export cable corridor; this was due to depth limitation in the nearshore, poor weather, and hazardous conditions at night. Where sidescan sonar data was not available, multibeam backscatter data was used for interpretation. This was adequate, however objects less than 0.5m in length were not able to be resolved and could not be measured as accurately as was possible with the sidescan dataset. |
