Title

Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 07 - Defra Strategic Wave Monitoring Network (WaveNet)

Abstract

This dataset has been extracted as part of an exercise to assemble "all" Cefas Temperature Data and publish it in a Data paper. It is one of 17 Cefas data sources assembled. WaveNet, Defra's strategic wave monitoring network for the United Kingdom, provides a single source of real-time wave data from a network of wave buoys located in areas at risk from flooding. In operation since 2002, WaveNet collects and processes data from the Cefas-operated Datawell Directional Waverider buoys, tethered at strategic locations around the UK coastline. The WaveNet system also gathers wave data from a variety of third party platforms and programmes (industry and public sector-funded), all of which are freely available for visualisation on the WaveNet website: Significant wave hight in metres, Water temperature in degree Celsius, Dominant (peak) wave periods in seconds, Average (zero crossing) wave periods in second, Dominant (peak) wave directions in degrees, Wave spread in degrees, Notional sensor depth = 0.45m

Lineage

Data from Wavenet are both public and private. The temperature data have been extracted from WaveNet buoys off the East of England (inshore and offshore), the South of England, the West of England and Wales and Scotland. Other data are available via `https://www.cefas.co.uk/cefas-data-hub/wavenet/`_. The Areas, Deployment names and Deployment Group Id’s are as follows. East England – inshore Area: Blakeney Overfalls (BLAKEOVRWN), Felixstowe (FELIXSTWWN), North Well (NTHWELLWN), South Knock (STHKNOCKWN), Southwold (STHWOLDWN), Warp Directional WaveRider (WARPDWR). East England – offshore Area: Dowsing (DOWSINGWN), Tyne/Tees (TYNETEESWN), West Gabbard (WESTGABWN). Scotland Area: Blackstones (BLKSTONEWN), Firth of Forth (FORTHWN), Moray Firth (MORAYWN), West of Hebrides (WHEBRIDSWN). South England Area: Hastings (HASTINGSWN), Poole Bay (POOLEBAYWN). West England-Wales Area: Liverpool Bay (LIVBAYWN), Lundy (LUNDYWN), Scarweather (SCARWTHRWN). The multiple sources are described in 17 separate metadata entries under the same Title, e.g. Seawater temperature records for the UK Shelf - 15 - RV Cefas Endeavour FerryBox Monitoring System. These data have been described in detail via the following publication. Morris, D. J., Pinnegar, J. K., Maxwell, D. L., Dye, S. R., Fernand, L. J., Flatman, S., Williams, O. J., and Rogers, S.
