Metadata: 2008, Wallingform environmental Surveys, Islay Tidal Current, Tidal Current Measurements
Abstract:
In order to accurately assess the potential of a particular location to provide a dependable and sustainable marine energy resource, it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of the site in terms of seabed morphology and local tidal flow regime. Prior to the undertaking of this particular measurement campaign, the former aspect was obtained by the Client from data provided by a recent bathymetric survey. This enabled the most suitable sites to be identified for the study of the tidal flow aspect. Wallingford Environmental Surveys Ltd (WES Ltd) was therefore commissioned in July 2008 to measure the tidal currents at three specified fixed (static) locations for a period of 30 days. Vesselborne (dynamic) current measurements were also undertaken throughout the area of interest to augment the data from the static devices to enable mapping of the spatial variation of the tidal flow by extrapolation.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4582 |
| 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. | 2008, Wallingform environmental Surveys, Islay Tidal Current, Tidal Current Measurements |
| 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. | 3b25a4d6-a957-422b-aaf3-1db1f546d1ed |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | ADCP1_08 |
| 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 | 2008-07-08 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2008-08-15 |
| 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 |
