Metadata: 2009, Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling, COWRIE Research, Comparison of Ornithological Surveys
Abstract:
The report in this series describes the analysis of two aerial surveys in the Norfolk Round 3 Zone 5 potential offshore wind farm area in the spring of 2009. One survey employed on-board observers and subdivided the study region into 8 blocks or strata. These strata were surveyed over 5 days of surveying during the period 5 March-20 April. A second survey employed digital video technology to collect animal detections. This survey was completed over 3 days.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18480 |
| 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. | 2009, Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling, COWRIE Research, Comparison of Ornithological Surveys |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Comparison of Ornithological Surveys |
| 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. | 2e8cb71c-0189-4d77-92b9-859cbca3f63e |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-273 |
| 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 | 2009-03-05 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-04-20 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The report in this series describes the analysis of two aerial surveys in the Norfolk Round 3 Zone 5 potential offshore wind farm area in the spring of 2009. One survey employed on-board observers and subdivided the study region into 8 blocks or strata. These strata were surveyed over 5 days of surveying during the period 5 March-20 April. A second survey employed digital video technology to collect animal detections. This survey was completed over 3 days. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | It was not feasible to estimate numbers of each species group in the entire region, because the surveys were conducted over a protracted survey period, during which bird numbers and distributions can be expected to vary substantially. We therefore used smaller areas corresponding to the strata (blocks) defined in the design of the visual surveys as the basic unit of comparison. As a result, the digital survey effort was broken into smaller blocks than in the original design of this survey. Likewise, the comparison of estimates produced by the two survey methods could only be on a single stratum where surveys by the two teams were conducted at roughly the same time. The correspondence of abundance estimates for three species groups in this stratum was reasonable for gulls, but confidence intervals for the two surveys do not overlap for the ‘seabird’ group. |
