The proposed wind farm is located offshore the east coast of Scotland in the central North Sea, 61 km northeast of Edinburgh. It is situated east of the Firths of Forth and Tay and 13-30 km east of Fife Ness. The following objectives were outlined:\r\n \r\n1. To determine accurate depths, giving full coverage across the site and collected to International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) Order 1 standards;\r\n \r\n2. To determine the nature of the seabed sediments;\r\n \r\n3. To identify any seabed surface features, such as sandwaves, and potential mobility;\r\n \r\n4. To identify any wrecks or surface obstructions;\r\n \r\n5. To identify subsurface strata and relate these to existing known geology.\r\n \r\nThe survey area over the proposed wind farm totalled approximately 181 km2. The Torness and Cockenzie routes have approximate lengths \r\n of 32 and 54 km respectively. Data collection required the acquisition of swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, sub-bottom profiling, acoustic ground discrimination system (AGDS), and magnetometer data.", "includedInDataCatalog": { "@id": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/json-ld/catalog.jsonld" }, "conditionsOfAccess": [ "access: There will be no limitations when published on the Marine Data Exchange", "use: Data Must be used in accordance to the Marine Data Exchange's Terms of Use: https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/content/info/terms-of-use", "use: 007" ], "temporalCoverage": "2009-06-06/2009-07-30", "keywords": [ { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SRFL/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SRFL", "name": "Seismic reflection" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/SSCN/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "SSCN", "name": "Side-scan sonar" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/MBAN/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P02/current/", "termCode": "MBAN", "name": "Bathymetry and Elevation" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/M0402/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M04/current/", "termCode": "M0402", "name": "Consenting" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/M0301/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/", "termCode": "M0301", "name": "Agreement for Lease Area" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/M0309/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/M03/current/", "termCode": "M0309", "name": "Offshore Cable Corridor" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/10/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/", "termCode": "10", "name": "Elevation" }, { "@type": "DefinedTerm", "identifier": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/13/", "inDefinedTermSet": "http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/P22/current/", "termCode": "13", "name": "Geology" } ], "spatialCoverage": { "@type": "Place", "geo": { "@type": "GeoShape", "box": "56.1953 -2.3675 56.3481 -2.1356" }, "additionalProperty": [ { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "https://apps.epsg.org/api/v1/ProjectedCoordRefSystem/32630", "value": "WGS 84 / UTM zone 30N" } ] }, "author": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "EDF Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "info_uk@edf-power.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "maintainer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Crown Estate Scotland", "description": "custodian", "email": "enquiries@crownestatescotland.com", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 260 6070", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "producer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Fugro EMU Limited", "description": "originator", "email": "mail@fugroemu.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "publisher": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Mainstream Renewable Power Limited", "description": "pointOfContact", "email": "info@neartnagaoithe.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "provider": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Crown Estate Scotland", "description": "distributor", "email": "enquiries@crownestatescotland.com", "telephone": "+44 (0)131 260 6070", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "creator": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "EDF Renewables", "description": "owner", "email": "info_uk@edf-power.com", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress" } } ], "sdPublisher": { "@type": "Organization", "url": "https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/", "name": "Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN)", "description": "The MEDIN portal contains information about 19784 marine datasets from over 600 UK organisations.
