Partrac Ltd. were contracted by SSE Renewables to deploy three Waverider wave buoys and two ADCP frames at the proposed Islay Offshore Wind Farm site. The objective of the study was to provide wave data that will informthe physical processes modelling and engineering design. The Waverider buoys were deployed on 12th February 2012 until the 14th August 2012, with the ADCP frames being deployed in July 2012. Deliverables were in the format of reports and excel spreadsheets containing raw data. This dataset package contains the wave rider buoy reports, including raw data, QC'd data, failed data, flagged data and statistics.
