Metadata: 2011, Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, Walney and Ormonde, Orithological Surveys
Abstract:
In December 2010 DONG Energy commissioned NERI to conduct aerial surveys of birds in a study area around the Walney Offshore Wind Farms and the Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm. The surveys were conducted by two methods, namely aerial surveys using human observers and surveys conducted as high resolution image surveys. In this briefing report we describe results from these surveys.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19740 |
| 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. | 2011, Danish Centre for Environment and Energy, Walney and Ormonde, Orithological Surveys |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Orithological Surveys |
| 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. | f971ace7-d77a-42ee-87b4-8a7ff741ad22 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2190 |
| 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 | 2011-01-19 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-02-16 |
| 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 |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | In December 2010 DONG Energy commissioned NERI to conduct aerial surveys of birds in a study area around the Walney Offshore Wind Farms and the Ormonde Offshore Wind Farm. The surveys were conducted by two methods, namely aerial surveys using human observers and surveys conducted as high resolution image surveys. In this briefing report we describe results from these surveys. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | During the aerial surveys a computer logged flight track data from a dif ferential GPS at five second intervals. Each record contained longitude, latitude, altitude and time. Accuracy of GPS longitude and latitude was normally considered to be within 2 m. In the very rare situations where the GPS failed during track-logging, positions of each bird observation were calculated from the known time of passage at the way points that were used for navigation and from the cruising speed of the aircraft. In these cases the spatial accuracy of the observation data is somewhat re duced. The majority of observations were considered to be accurate to within four seconds. With a flight speed of 185 km/h the positional accuracy on the longitudinal axis was within 206 m. In a few circumstances with high bird densities, grouping of observations in periods of up to 10 seconds may have occurred, leading to an accuracy of observation positioning of up to 515 m. |
