Metadata: 2012, Partrac, Skerries, Metocean Survey
Abstract:
Partrac Ltd was contracted by Marine Current Turbines to undertake collection of metocean data (currents, waves and water level) in a region known as The Skerries off north Anglesey. Five precise locations were chosen for the deployment of metocean monitoring equipment. Five instrumented, ballasted bed-frames each comprising either a 600 kHz or a 300 kHz RDI acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), were deployed at the five sites over two periods, at the end of February and at the end of March 2012. Recovery operations were completed after a minimum 31 days of monitoring, again over two periods at the end of March and early May 2012.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 30664 |
| 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. | 2012, Partrac, Skerries, Metocean Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Metocean 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. | 43dfb625-9ac0-4b70-8da3-39aae806080b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2014 |
| 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 | 2012-02-29 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-05-06 |
| 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. | Each seabed frame was attached to an acoustic release and camera system and lowered over the side of the vessel using an A-frame and drum winch until it reached the seabed. The tilt of the landed frame was to be assessed with the tethered camera system and the use of the bullseye levelling board. However, during each deployment, the turbidity in the water column was found to be so great that visibility of the bullseye in each instance was significantly impaired and release had to be made without a view of the seabed. Such high turbidity is in part due to the relatively shallow water and high current speeds and also to phytoplankton growth. |
