Aegir Wave Power Limited (Aegir), a joint venture company comprised of Edinburgh based technology developer Pelamis Wave Power (PWP) and Swedish utility Vattenfall (VF), delivered a limited hydrographical survey and monitoring program of the Aegir Area of Search (AoS) to underpin site development activities and meet license and consent requirements. The hydrographical program comprised assessment of resource climate, both wave and tidal; and broad scale acoustic survey with targeted, higher resolution acoustic surveys of potential cable routes from site to land. This program operated from first concept in 2009 and development of desk study assessments, through to site monitoring activities at site from 2011 through 2014. The hydrographical programme was non-intrusive in nature, being solely based on remote survey and monitoring techniques e.g. satellite data, geophysical acoustic surveying and wave buoy monitoring. The Aegir hydrographical program was also supplemented by a marine acoustic survey program undertaken by Marine Scotland Science (MSS) in the region of South West Shetland, late in 2011.

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. | 2009-2014 Aegir Hydrographic Programme |
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. | 7cc25e46-88ee-46cd-9cfc-0e0b22549deb |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | AEG2009_14_PHYSENV_HYDROGRAPHICPROGRAMME |
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 | 2010-04-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-06-06 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Lineage and quality descriptions are provided for each dataset comprising the series. Dataset resolution varies from observational wave buoy data (at a point location) to multi-beam bathymetric sampling to irregularly meshed tidal grids. |
