This dataseries contains numerous files in a range of formats, arranged in folders by named location and data type. A full list of all files and subfolders is provided in [List of files.xls]. Folder [Reports R2106 and R2107] contains the metocean reports that have been developed on the basis of the associated data; these reports provide detailed information about the provenance of the individual raw and processed data sources. Folder [Figures Showing Named Locations] contains extracted figures from the reports, indicating the geographical position of the named data locations. Folders with names starting [EDA] and the folder [Other Data] provide region or site specific metocean data, including: wind; wave; water levels; currents; and other auxiliary information. Site specific raw data are provided where available. Processed or modified versions of the same data used to inform the reports are also provided. Most folders contain an additional file [ReadMe.txt] providing more detailed information about the local subfolders and/or file contents.

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08T00:00:00 publication Conformity with the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 was either not relevant to this dataset or not a requirement of the Marine Data Exchange for the creation and submission of this dataset; therefore, conformity has not been assessed and cannot be declared False series The metocean parameters provided are typically derived from the statistical analysis of observed or synthetic (e.g. modelled) data. It is important to note that there will be a degree of uncertainty associated with each component of the assessment, primarily related to:  The accuracy of the input data;  The spatial and temporal resolution of the input data (with respect to the expected variability in the parameter of interest);  The temporal duration of the data (also with respect to the expected variability in the parameter of interest);  The ‘representativeness’ of the data used, for all possible locations in the area of interest; and  The choice of, and limitations of, the chosen data analysis methodology. A consideration of key aspects of uncertainty is provided in each section. Uncertainty was minimised in the course of the present study by applying best practice guidelines to the creation and preparation, selection and application of the data and analysis methods used. Best practice in the present study is provided by the relevant certifying bodies (DNV, 2004, 2007, 2010 and ISO 2007). These are supplemented with additional specialist guidance where appropriate (e.g. in relation to scour and climate change).
