The Wind and Wave Data Report describes work commissioned in 1997 by Renewable Energy Systems Limited (RES). RES was assessing the feasibility of offshore windfarms and required wind and wave data at three potential sites situated around the coast of the UK. HR Wallingford supplied the data, having first detailed the various sources available at the different sites and assisted in the decision of the most appropriate source. The UK Meteorological Office (UKMO) wave model archive, that also includes wind data from the LAM numerical weather prediction model, was chosen as the most appropriate source of data. The data were presented in various different forms, and assessment of the accuracy given. A method of converting the wind data to be representative of conditions at 60m elevation, which was considered the likely elevation of the turbines, is also described. The original report has been represented for Offshore Wind Power Ltd (OWP) and includes only the data relating to one of the sites, Inner Dowsing, where OWP intend to develop an offshore windfarm. The data supplied have not been updated to include the period from 1998 to 2004, and it should be noted that the data supplied should not be relied upon for engineering design purposes. The Wave Data Report details wave measurements at the proposed Inner Dowsing Offshore Wind Farm were undertaken in the period 4th March to 13th June 2004. The seabed mounted directional wave sensor was located off the Lincolnshire coast, 3.9 sea miles ENE of Ingoldmells Point.The deployment duration was driven by the need to collect enough data to perform long term wave modelling work. The deployment concluded, with OWPL approval, when HR Wallingford advised that sufficient data had been obtained for a calibration of the wave model. Additionally, the expectation of strong winds was less due to the arrival of the summer period. The report was written, and the field measurements undertaken, by Mr S J Hearn, Principal Surveyor in the Environmental Measurements and Assessments Group at HR Wallingford Ltd. completed Centrica Energy Centrica plc, Millstream, Maidenhead Road Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GD United Kingdom renewables@centrica.com L&ID.DocumentControl@centrica.com http://www.centrica.com/ custodian HR Wallingford Limited Project Manager Howbery Park, Wallingford Oxfordshire OX10 8BA info@hrwallingford.com http://www.hrwallingford.com/ originator notPlanned Renewable Energy Lease area The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Pre-Construction monitoring The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 wave meteorology Marisaurus Thesaurus 2010-09-22 revision 28 Wind Waves Global Change Master Directory Science Keyword variables 2007-04-18 revision 4 Meteorological models SeaDataNet device categories 2015-02-12 revision 49 Wave height and period statistics SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2015-04-09 revision 88 Wave direction SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2015-04-09 revision 88 Currents SeaDataNet Agreed Parameter Groups 2015-02-04 revision 22 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx eng climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere oceans 0.429574612037093 0.490668789094874 53.1235139054851 53.2139573121939 2004-03-04 2004-06-13 http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/search?q=#fq=fq%3DProject%253Amde1r1id8280 download https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/724/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site. series This metadata file has been created by Centrica Energy for the purpose of publishing this data to the Marine Data Exchange
