Metadata: 2010-2012, EMU, Zone 9 - Celtic Array, Hydrodynamic Measurement Campaign
Abstract:
This series covers the Hydrodynamic Measurement Campaign carried out by EMU Ltd between October 2010 and October 2012. The measurement campaign was designed to record a complete annual cycle to support the data requirements for zonal characterisation, hydrodynamic modelling and physical processes studies as well as informing the design criteria for turbines and meteorological masts. Data types consisted of: • Water levels • Currents • Waves • Suspended sediment concentration • Temperature • Directional wave statistics. Both the raw and processed datasets are provided.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19176 |
| 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. | 2010-2012, EMU, Zone 9 - Celtic Array, Hydrodynamic Measurement Campaign |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | 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. | 9c35276c-40b8-4d11-82b1-b6ed5540d021 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2644 |
| 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 | 2010-10-24 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-10-06 |
| 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'. | unknown |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The measurement campaign was designed to record a complete annual cycle to support the data requirements for zonal characterisation, hydrodynamic modelling and physical processes studies as well as informing the design criteria for turbines and meteorological masts. Data types consisted of: • Water levels • Currents • Waves • Suspended sediment concentration • Temperature • Directional wave statistics At the commencement of the project, the deployed equipment comprised of two seabed mounted Acoustic Wave and Current (AWAC) profilers and two Directional Waverider Buoys (DWR). The AWAC profilers were deployed in bespoke seabed frames that are designed to be low profile, trawl resistant and to keep the instruments clear of the seabed. The Nortek AWAC profilers recorded current profiles, tidal heights, directional wave data and acoustic backscatter (ABS) profiles. In addition, the frames were equipped with environmental sensors fitted with optical backscatter (OBS) and temperature sensors. The suspended sediment data from the ABS and OBS was evaluated in combination with water samples collected on site. The frames were recovered and redeployed at new locations on a rolling programme. The two DWRs continually collected data on wave height, period and direction; these data were transmitted to shore via satellite and additionally, were downloaded at regular intervals. |
