Ecological Consequences of Offshore Wind (ECOWind) research programme
The Ecological Consequences of Offshore Wind (ECOWind) research programme comprises of 4 grants: Ecological Implications of Accelerated Seabed Mobility around Windfarms (NE/X008886/1: ECOWind-ACCELERATE), Physics-to-Ecosystem Level Assessment of Impacts of Offshore Windfarms (NE/X008835/1: PELAgIO), Benthic-Offshore Wind Interactions (NE/X008991/1: BOWIE) and Ecosystem Change, Offshore Wind, Net Gain and Seabirds (NE/X009068/1: ECOWINGS). These projects are expected to run until 2027, interacting with eachother to collect multidisciplinary data that investigates the physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem impact windfarms have around the UK, using multi-scale observational data, laboratory experiments and model outputs. The data collected spans from flume data, wave model outputs and glider measurements through to the response of seabirds. The programme was funded by NERC and aims to provide new evidence in support of marine policy and the sustainable management of offshore wind development.

- Explanation

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

These datasets were created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The high volume datasets were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) and transferred to the BODC archive at Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) for long-term archive, followed by data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. The remaining data were provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into one of the schemas of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB), or for long-term archive and data publication in the BODC Published Data Library. During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves.Instrument (s) used to collect data: fluorometers; cameras; observers; salinometers; acoustic velocity systems; Ocean models; Physical oceanographic models; water temperature sensor; dissolved gas sensors.
