Metadata: 2009, EMU Ltd., Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, Greater Wash Hydrodynamic Measurement Campaign
Abstract:
Emu Limited was commissioned by RWE Npower Renewables Limited to monitor the physical oceanographic processes in the vicinity of the Greater Wash, for the proposed Triton Knoll offshore wind farm development. This included the monitoring of tidal heights, currents and waves at three locations within the development area. A Nortek AWAC (Acoustic Wave And Current) profiler was deployed at each location. The instruments were configured to record the tide height and profiles of the acoustic backscatter intensity, current speed and current direction throughout the water column every 10 minutes. In addition directional wave data were acquired every 30 minutes. The equipment was serviced after approximately 7 weeks and redeployed for a further 8 weeks. The second deployment was extended in order to return the maximum period of data possible as the initial data set from PSA SW showed corruption after the first 21 days and stopped recording data after 40 days. The duration of the data sets allowed the derivation of robust statistics and tidal harmonics to assist in the understanding of the site conditions.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4839 |
| 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. | 2009, EMU Ltd., Triton Knoll Offshore Wind Farm, Greater Wash Hydrodynamic Measurement Campaign |
| 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. | 6ae5ff182bb45d25917c26d67f351534 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 4579 |
| 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 | 2009-03-31 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2009-07-16 |
| Vertical extent (min) | A positive or negative decimal number, for example, the shallowest depth recorded if subtidal, or, if intertidal, the lowest point recorded. | -25 |
| Vertical extent reference | This descibes the vertical coordinate reference system as referred to in the EPSG register of geodetic parameters. (epsg-registry.org) | Chart datum |
| 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 |
