Metadata: 2009-2017, Cefas, West of Duddon Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Metocean Survey
Abstract:
DONG Energy and (historically) Scottish Power Renewables (SPR) required specialist services to provide sufficient wave data to inform design, construction and operations phases for the West of Duddon Sands (WoDS) Offshore Windfarm, which is situated approximately 7.5 to 12 NM off the Isle of Walney, Cumbria. After the initial five years of measurements, a key driver for the continuation of the work was the validation of the engineering designs of the turbine towers and monopile foundations under the in-situ wave environment. This study specifically collected wave time series data over a seven-year period (November 2009 to January 2017) using a Datawell MkIII Directional Waverider (DWR) buoy sited ca. 8 NM from shore within the area of the WoDS windfarm. After undergoing automated QA procedures, the near-real time telemetry data were then made available to SPR and DONG Energy via a private FTP site. The full dataset provides DONG Energy and SPR with a better understanding of the inter-annual variability of the wave climate within the WoDS windfarm.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5399 |
| 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. | 2009-2017, Cefas, West of Duddon Sands Offshore Wind Farm, Metocean 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. | cc91f30e-2663-42be-b3cf-01e68c0d16dd |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 009 |
| 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 | 2009-11-09 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2017-01-18 |
| 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. | All the Waveriders used during the project had factory check sheets and/or calibration certificates from the manufacturer (see Annex 3 for details). In addition, the preparation, servicing and deployment of the equipment in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations ensured that data downloaded from the instruments were of the highest standard. Therefore, any data identified as unreliable were due to reasons beyond Cefas’ control (e.g., spectrally derived directional parameters from a Waverider are unreliable at low wave heights – see below). Post-recovery Waverider data undergoes a series of processing steps followed by automated and manual quality assurance (QA) processes. The 30-minute full spectrum (SPT) files were first renamed to include the deployment name and uploaded to the Cefas SmartBuoy/WaveNet SQL2013 database using bespoke software that conducts automated QA on the wave parameters during the process. |
