Metadata: 2015, Met Office, UK Offshore Wind Resource Dataset
Abstract:
The offshore wind industry is growing into a more established sector with 5 GW installed capacity in UK waters. This is set to increase further in the UK and across Europe. With the development of the sector there has been an increased demand for, and ability to provide, better data. One method of obtaining data on wind resource is mathematical modelling. This does not replace the requirement for site specific measurements and monitoring. The Crown Estate identified the potential for improvement in understanding of the UK’s offshore wind resource that could be gained from such an update and the benefit that this could bring to the sector.Following a competitive tendering process The Met Office was awarded a contract by The Crown Estate to produce the UK Offshore Wind Dataset 2015.The new wind dataset has been produced at 110m above sea level at horizontal resolutions of 4.4km (over the Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Waters). The dataset is based on 30 years of modelled 4.4km data (December 1984 - November 2014).

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4751 |
| 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. | 2015, Met Office, UK Offshore Wind Resource Dataset |
| 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. | 575fcf6b-3a36-4ea3-8794-e4bcfcedcb71 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 999 |
| 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 | 1984-12-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-11-30 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 4400 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | m |
| 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 dataset was derived by modelling wind data as outlined in the report. |
