Metadata: 2012, ABPmer, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Metocean and Coastal Processes Assessment
Abstract:
ABPmer carried out the metocean survey campaign covering the Eastern Development Area of MORL. This included study of Bathymetry, Geology, Wind Climate, Hydrodynamics (Wave Climate and Tidal Regime), and Sedimentary and Coastal Processes. The results were submitted with the MORL Eastern Development Area Environmental Statement.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18779 |
| 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, ABPmer, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Metocean and Coastal Processes Assessment |
| 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. | 5d48bcb9-12c0-4615-ab94-05ac2e5a271b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-384 |
| 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 | 2012-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-12-31 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 5000 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| 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'. | asNeeded |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | ABPmer carried out the metocean survey campaign covering the Eastern Development Area of MORL. This included study of Bathymetry, Geology, Wind Climate, Hydrodynamics (Wave Climate and Tidal Regime), and Sedimentary and Coastal Processes. The results were submitted with the MORL Eastern Development Area Environmental Statement. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The report and the criteria shown are based only upon existing measured, observed or hindcast data. No new modelling was undertaken to provide new data, or to facilitate detailed spatial translation or temporal extrapolation of the data sources to the precise location and situation of the proposed met mast. Data sources have however been chosen with a view to providing a conservative estimate of metocean conditions in the outer Moray Firth, in the intermediate water depths and exposures typical of the proposed met mast location and the majority of the eastern half of the development area. |
