Metadata: 2013, HR Wallingford, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, Metocean and Coastal Processes
Abstract:
This series provides data from an assessment of the predicted effects of the construction, operation and decommissioning of the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm and Offshore Transmission Works within the Development Area and Offshore Export Cable Corridor upon metocean and coastal processes. “Metocean” refers to meteorology and oceanography; the main processes of interest are water levels, currents and waves. “Coastal processes” is a generic term that refers to the physical processes affecting the form and evolution of the coastal zone, through sediment erosion, transport and deposition. A coastal processes study considers phenomena such as suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), seabed features (such as sand banks and ripples), and large-scale sediment transport pathways (which in turn influence beach replenishment, coastal erosion/flooding, and similar issues). The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm and Offshore Transmission Works (OfTW) will consider metocean and coastal processes within the near-field environment (i.e. encompassing the Development Area or Offshore Export Cable Corridor) in addition to the far-field environment (for example the coastal zone). The data in this series describes the following: baseline (existing) metocean and coastal process conditions for the Regional Study Area (as shown in Figure 10.3) based on desk studies, collected field data and modelling; the magnitude of the predicted changes to metocean and coastal processes resulting from works within the Development Area and Offshore Export Cable Corridor (both individually and cumulatively); where relevant, the significance of the impacts of predicted changes to metocean and coastal processes resulting from works within the Development Area and Offshore Export Cable Corridor (both individually and cumulatively); where relevant, the significance of predicted cumulative changes to processes resulting from the Wind Farm and Offshore Transmission Works cumulatively with other proposed developments and activities; and mitigation measures and residual effects.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19536 |
| 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. | 2013, HR Wallingford, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, Metocean and Coastal Processes |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Metocean and Coastal Processes |
| 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. | d5a26282-83a9-40e0-a6e4-58e698776264 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-112 |
| 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 | 2010-09-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-09-17 |
| 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. | The data in this series was created by Intertek Metoc as part of the metocean and coastal processes chapter of the Inch Cape Offshore LTD (ICOL) Wind Farm Environmental Statement. The data and files contained herein were created by external (to ICOL) consultants using a "black box" methodology. As such, beyond the reports found on the Inch Cape website (www.inchcapewind) no further lineage information is available for the data within this series. |
