Metadata: 2013, Xodus Group, Buchan Deep, Marine Noise Desk Study
Abstract:
Noise is readily transmitted underwater and there is potential for sound emissions from construction and operation of Hywind to affect marine mammals and fish. By using a floating structure, the installation noise is much reduced by removing the need for driven piles. However, there are likely to be noise impacts due to operation of the turbines as well as other construction activities, such as cable installation and use of vessels. At long ranges the introduction of additional noise could potentially cause short-term behavioural changes, for example to the ability of cetaceans to communicate and to determine the presence of predators, food, underwater features and obstructions. At close ranges and with high noise source levels, permanent or temporary hearing damage might occur, while at very close range, gross physical trauma is possible. The report in this series provides a high level overview of the potential impacts due to underwater noise from Hywind on the surrounding environment. In particular, the report reviews the underwater noise measurements and analysis previously undertaken by Statoil on the Hywind I demonstrator installed offshore Norway, to assess operational noise from the turbines. The report also makes recommendations for the types of impacts identified should be addressed in the EIA in terms of marine noise.

| 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. | 2013, Xodus Group, Buchan Deep, Marine Noise Desk Study |
| 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. | 65000966-7de6-47b5-86c0-8207e5b8b09f |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | BD_4 |
| 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 | 2013-07-16 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Xodus has performed some simple calculations to convert the PSD plots from the Jasco report into approximate sound pressure level data. PSD levels were converted to sound pressure by applying a frequency bandwidth related correction for the appropriate frequency bin (in this case third octave bands were used). This was then corrected for background noise using the data from the control monitoring point. |
