Metadata: Walney Offshore Wind Farm: Hydrodynamic Survey
Abstract:
This project involved the collection of metocean data at the location of Walney Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) by ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd (ABPmer) in order to fully appreciate the hydrodynamic climate prior to turbine installation in 2009. ABPmer collected three months of wave data (height; period; direction) at a pre-specified location within Walney OWF. In order to maximise the usefulness of the data collected, ABPmer recommended the concurrent collection of tidal current information (speed; direction). The equipment was deployed on 17th June 2008 for a total of 13 weeks. One planned service visit was undertaken on 29th July 2008 and the device was re-deployed on 5th August 2008. A Nortek AWAC device was used to collect data. The device was mounted 0.5m above the seabed and deployed at the south-western corner of the proposed site at 465383, 5985672 (WGS84 UTM30N) in, approximately, 23m of water depth. Over 40 days worth of usable data has been retrieved from the Nortek AWAC device. The key parameters recorded by the device were water levels, tide currents and directions and waves.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4628 |
| 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. | Walney Offshore Wind Farm: Hydrodynamic 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. | 4143bb76d9f95e5a9e1dec83a41a621a |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4475 |
| 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 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-10-29 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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 |
