Metadata: 2010, PARTRAC Ltd, Kyle Rhea, Vessel-Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Survey
Abstract:
PARTRAC Ltd undertook a VMADCP survey during a 13 hour complete spring tide to define the locations of high-energy current flow hotspots which could then be further investigated in the future using bottom-mounted ADCPs to determine the suitability for tidal energy conversion. Throughout the whole tide the highest-energy flows occurred in the centre of the channel and were separated from much lower-velocity flows at the edges of the channel by sharp boundaries. Flow reversal at these boundaries was noticeable during peak flow periods between high and low water.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4891 |
| 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. | 2010, PARTRAC Ltd, Kyle Rhea, Vessel-Mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Survey |
| 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. | 75f211cc-75c0-42f9-9355-6be9c1d6768d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | KRCurrentP |
| 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 | 2010-04-14 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-04-14 |
| 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 |
