Metadata: 2011 - 2012, Partrac, Blyth NaREC Offshore Demonstration Site, Oceanographic Monitoring
Abstract:
The National Renewable Energy Centre (NaREC) at Blyth, Northumbria, awarded Partrac Ltd a framework agreement for the provision of professional consultancy related to Metocean Survey Services. This is in support of the proposed offshore demonstrator project to be located off the coast of Blyth, Northumbria. The purpose of these surveys is to monitor the waves, tidal currents and near seabed sediment concentrations in the region by deploying two Datawell Waverider buoys, and four acoustic Doppler Current and Wave Profilers (Nortek AWACs) each with OBS (turbidity sensors). Partrac and Gardline Environmental Ltd were jointly contracted by NaREC to undertake the work. With Partrac providing the equipment and undertaking service, download visits and wave buoy data management, whilst Gardline provided initial vessel services as well as jointly deploying equipment with Partrac. Gardline Environmental Ltd deployed the equipment for Phase 1, whilst Partrac took over theprocedure from the start of Phase 2 until the end of the survey period (March 2012). Instruments were deployed for Phase 1 on the 21s t and 22nd of January 2011 and serviced for a new phase approximately every three months.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4836 |
| 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. | 2011 - 2012, Partrac, Blyth NaREC Offshore Demonstration Site, Oceanographic Monitoring |
| 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. | 6ac96455-a4e6-482a-9846-ab8a0639ef5e |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | -1 |
| 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 | 2011-01-20 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-06-20 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Figure 36 and Figure 37 show a comparison between the AWAC (A4) and Waverider (W1) data at the same location for significant wave height and mean period. The significant wave height data from the A4 and W1 are in agreement as demonstrated in Figure 36. Tm02 is consistently lower than Tz; this is attributed to how the values are derived, with Tz being a direct measurement of waves and Tm02 derived from the wave spectrum. Approximate differences observed are <0.3 m (Hm0) and <1 s (Tz), although this cannot be quantified directly between records due to the different sampling regimes. The close agreement however, between the two methods of wave measurement supports the validity of comparing between sites and equipment. Wave data have been quality controlled using Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) WaveNet QA/QC procedures for data obtained from directional Waverider buoys via ARGOS and Orbcomm satellite telemetry. |
