Metadata: 2004-2005, EMU, London Array, Directional Wave Data Analysis
Abstract:
In 2004 Emu Limited was commissioned to undertake a project to monitor the coastal processes of the outer Thames Estuary for the London Array, Round 2 Wind Farm Development. An initial 3 month survey, designed to support the data requirements for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was undertaken between February and May, 2004. This included the monitoring of waves, tidal heights, currents and suspended solids at three locations within the development area. Monitoring wave action at an additional site outside of the development area was also undertaken. Seabed mounted acoustic profilers were deployed at each of the three locations within the development area (Long Sands, Kentish Knock and Knock Deep). These instruments were all capable of recording current profiles, tidal heights, directional wave data and acoustic back scatter (ABS) profiles. A directional wave-rider buoy was deployed at the location outside the development area (Drill Stone Buoy). The buoy was equipped with 3 accelerometers to measure wave action directly. This initial study was subsequently extended for an additional 9 month period between June 2004 and March 2005 (deployments 4 and 5). Emu Limited was later commissioned to undertake a detailed 2 dimensional wave energy analysis in order to define better the wave coming directions and wave heights within the development site.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19292 |
| 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. | 2004-2005, EMU, London Array, Directional Wave Data Analysis |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Directional Wave Data Analysis |
| 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. | ae29d452-64ae-4144-ab3e-ce07a722d7d0 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-989 |
| 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 | 2004-02-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005-03-31 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | In order to verify that the instruments were functioning correctly, the tidal and current data were first reassessed. This confirmed the underlying health of the sensors and that the raw data were of an acceptable quality. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Origin: Emu |
