Metadata: 2011, HR Wallingford, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms, Metocean Study
Abstract:
This study follows on from two previous metocean studies carried out in 2004 and 2008 by HR Wallingford for the Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm, and for the Lincs Wind Farm. A SWAN spectral wave model was set up in 2007 by HR Wallingfor to supply operational forecasts of nearshore waves at the Lynn and Inner Dowsing wind farm. This is a more sophisticated model that the HINDWAVE/TELURAY wave model used in HR Wallingford (2004). This SWAN model was calibrated against various measurements in the Lincs wind farm study (HR Walligford, 2008) and provides an accurate description of the waves across the area of the wind farms. A Telemac 2D flow model was also set up and calibrated against various measurements during the Lincs Wind Farm study. In this study, the updated and improved wave and flow conditions were extracted from teh models calibrated in the Lincs study area (HR Wallingford, 2008) in the four nearshore points defined in the previous HR Wallingford report.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4986 |
| 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, HR Wallingford, Lynn and Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farms, Metocean 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. | 85fcb055-37e7-49bb-b235-d6c9eef577d7 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 5951 |
| 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 | 1986-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1986-12-31 |
| 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 |
