Metadata: 2010 Defra MB0106 Atlas Tide Resources
Abstract:
Tidal data supplied by Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL) on behalf of BERR for the Atlas of UK Marine Renewable Energy Resources project. This layer contains the primary tidal data attributes from the Atlas database. This dataset includes information about Flow, Power and Tidal Range for the area of the UK Continental Shelf. All data recorded 2001 to 2007. Refer to 2008 technical report for Atlas update.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2743 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010 Defra MB0106 Atlas Tide Resources |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 28fb74eb70d68879534bfbecb294d78d |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | MB0106000000027 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-12-31 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1.8 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |

Computed from the harmonics M2 and S2 using the formula: MSR= 2(M2+S2 ) MNR= 2(M2-S2 ) MEANNRNG,Mean Neap Range, Tide_Age,Tide Age,The age of the tide is the average time delay (in hours) from the full or new moon to the point of spring tides. For UK waters, this value is typically between 36 and 60 hours. Computed directly from harmonic constituents using the formula: TYPE_TIDE,Type of Tide,The type of tide gives an indication of the type of tidal regime at the location. A value of less than 0.25 indicates a semi-diurnal tide ; 0.25 to 1.5 is a mixed tide (mainly semidiurnal) ; 1.5 to 3.0 is a mixed tide (mainly diurnal) ; more than 3.0 indicates diurnal tides. The Age of tide parameter becomes less reliable when this value exceeds 0.5. M2SEMIMJ,M2 Ellipse - Semi-Major Axis, The five ellipse parameters for the M2 constituent in the following order: * Semi-major axis * Semi-minor axis * Orientation (clockwise from north) * Phase of the ellipse * Rotation direction (C=clockwise, A=anticlockwise, X=undefined) An undefined rotation means the flow is probably very small and very linear and it does not clearly rotate in one direction. This tends to happen more with the smaller diurnal constituents O1 and K1, and more rarely with M2.
