Metadata: 2012, University of Exeter, Wave Hub, Long-term Hincast Study
Abstract:
There are numerous measured and modelled datasets available within 20 km of the Wave Hub site covering different periods between 1989 and 2012. However, there is no single dataset covering the entire period and the measured datasets cover short periods of up to a year, consequently there is limited temporal overlap of the datasets. The different instruments and models used to produce each dataset, and the natural inter-annual variability of the site, make the assessment of wave resources and extreme wave heights more difficult and less reliable. Additionally, the datasets available cover a significant area, with differing bathymetry, so a variation in wave climate is to be expected. Due to change in the site location during development there is only one measured dataset at the final Wave Hub development area and no information about the variation inside this area. The objective of this study is to reanalyse wave and wind information from large scale ocean models has been used as input for a high resolution regional SWAN model. In this way, a dataset for the Wave Hub development area with a 23-year period and more spatial information is created.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5253 |
| 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, University of Exeter, Wave Hub, Long-term Hincast 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. | b0ea6c1c-a9cc-4fef-a0f1-48f659330100 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | HincastWaveHub |
| 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 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| 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'. | irregular |
