Metadata: 2012-2013, APEM, London Array, Ornithological Aerial Survey
Abstract:
This project summarises the findings of the winter 2013 / 2013 aerial surveys of the London Array Ltd Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) site, and associated control zone, for birds and marine mammals. The aerial surveys are designed to meet the requirements of the Marine Licence1 granted in respect of the wind farm.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19316 |
| 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. | 2012-2013, APEM, London Array, Ornithological Aerial Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Ornithological Aerial 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. | a1438de8-22ef-4c6a-8162-28c6baf7c7a0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1006 |
| 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 | 2012-11-13 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-02-03 |
| 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'. | asNeeded |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | This project summarises the findings of the winter 2013 / 2013 aerial surveys of the London Array Ltd Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) site, and associated control zone, for birds and marine mammals. The aerial surveys are designed to meet the requirements of the Marine Licence1 granted in respect of the wind farm. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A standard internal and external Quality Assurance (QA) procedure was carried out on each survey. For the internal QA, images were assessed in batches with a different staff member responsible for each batch. Each bird image was reviewed and checked by APEM's own dedicated QA manager, ensuring that 100% of birds found in the images were subject to internal QA. The QA manager, an experienced ornithologist, is responsible for maintaining and updating the image library and also provides advice and guidance to the image processing staff. Upon completion of the internal QA, 20% of the birds located in each survey were subject to external QA by an independent organisation. The appointed auditors for seabirds are the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). The images for external QA were selected at random using a random number generator. The selected images were provided to the BTO along with information on measured body lengths and wingspans of the birds. All identifications were conducted 'blind' by the external analyst. For marine mammals, all images containing such animals were sent for external ID. The appointed auditors for marine mammals are the Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU Ltd). Upon return of the SMRU identifications, the data was updated accordingly with any improvements on the level of identification already achieved by the image analysts and ornithologists at APEM. |
