Metadata: 2005, ABPmer, COWRIE Research, Potential Impact of Round 2 Offshore Wind Farms on Sediment Transport
Abstract:
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has commissioned ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd (ABPmer) to investigate the issue of sediment pathways and large-scale offshore wind farms as part of a series of supporting technical investigations related to the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for marine renewable energy. This work builds on the Phase 1 SEA for offshore wind (BMT Cordah, 2003) which was completed in anticipation of the second round of site leasing (Round 2) for the three strategic interest areas commonly referred to as; Thames, Greater Wash and North West (Liverpool Bay). This report is also a companion to a qualitative review of sand banks, sediment pathways and offshore wind farms by Kenyon & Cooper, 2004, and extends earlier generic research funded by DTI, prior to Round 1, on the issue of potential effects of offshore wind developments on coastal processes (Cooper ; Beiboer, 2002).

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19204 |
| 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. | 2005, ABPmer, COWRIE Research, Potential Impact of Round 2 Offshore Wind Farms on Sediment Transport |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Potential Impact of Round 2 Offshore Wind Farms on Sediment Transport |
| 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. | 9f7bad6e-87ba-4145-9564-217021b0729b |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-241 |
| 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 | 2005-01-07 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-02-23 |
| 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. | A quantified assessment of sand transport is reported here based on a generalised configuration of a large offshore wind farm tested against a flux of sand in transport responding to a tidal mechanism. Numerical modelling tools are applied to test the hypothesis that a large offshore wind farm might interfere with a sediment pathway. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Origin: ABP Marine Environmental Research Ltd |
