This project concerns a programme of research and monitoring that has been undertaken at the site of Scroby Sands Offshore Windfarm to observe, measure and quantify potential impacts on the coastal processes. This has been achieved by a series of seabed surveys and seabed landers before, during and after the construction of the offshore wind farm. These provide evidence of any potential changes in seabed bathymetry, bedforms, currents, waves and suspended sediment concentrations that may lead to disturbance of sedimentary environments or sediment transport pathways. The conclusions from the surveys show that there are high levels of bed shear stress, scour pits have been created and scour tails have been created. Swath Bathymetry surveys will continue under FEPA licence conditions to generate a time series of Digital Elevation Models - This will enable the understanding of seasonal and inter-annual variability.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 7955 |
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. | 2003-2005, Cefas, Scroby Sands Offshore Windfarm Coastal Processes Monitoring |
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. | f8bd3863d9e6509d9b4324daa679bf3f |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | 2063 |
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 | 2003 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2005 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
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 package included in this series is the final report. The provision of "coastal process" advice relating to the Scroby Sands ES highlighted areas where our present level of scientific understanding was particularly deficient. |
Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Supply media: 001 Origin: CEFAS Lowestoft laboratory |
