Abstract/Summary

Metocean observations in Liverpool Bay over the year 2008 are compared with those over a longer period to determine whether 2008 is a “typical” year. Histograms are produced for each parameter for both 2008 and the long-term, and their shapes examined to see whether the general patterns, and also extremes, seen in the long-term are captured in 2008. This, in turn, will establish whether 2008 is a suitable annual cycle to study. The 2008 data collected will later be correlated to stratification events in Liverpool Bay with the aim of trying to determine the processes controlling stratification.
