This is in support of the proposed offshore demonstrator project to be located off the coast of Blyth, Northumbria. The purpose of these surveys is to monitor the waves, tidal currents and near seabed sediment concentrations in the region by deploying two Datawell Waverider buoys, and four acoustic Doppler Current and Wave Profilers (Nortek AWACs) each with OBS (turbidity sensors). Partrac and Gardline Environmental Ltd were jointly contracted by NaREC to undertake the work. With Partrac providing the equipment and undertaking service, download visits and wave buoy data management, whilst Gardline provided initial vessel services as well as jointly deploying equipment with Partrac. Gardline Environmental Ltd deployed the equipment for Phase 1, whilst Partrac took over theprocedure from the start of Phase 2 until the end of the survey period (March 2012). Instruments were deployed for Phase 1 on the 21s t and 22nd of January 2011 and serviced for a new phase approximately every three months. Data Controller National Renewable Energy Centre Ltd.

The significant wave height data from the A4 and W1 are in agreement as demonstrated in Figure 36. Tm02 is consistently lower than Tz; this is attributed to how the values are derived, with Tz being a direct measurement of waves and Tm02 derived from the wave spectrum. Approximate differences observed are <0.3 m (Hm0) and <1 s (Tz), although this cannot be quantified directly between records due to the different sampling regimes. The close agreement however, between the two methods of wave measurement supports the validity of comparing between sites and equipment. Wave data have been quality controlled using Cefas (Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science) WaveNet QA/QC procedures for data obtained from directional Waverider buoys via ARGOS and Orbcomm satellite telemetry.
