The data set comprises the results of about 20 surveys of UK estuaries and sites near power stations. The data have been collected on behalf of PowerGen by a variety of survey companies and authorities. Usually current, water level and wind data have been collected. In addition, other meteorological parameters have been measured on some surveys and wave data have been collected as part of two of the surveys. Surveys have been carried out at the following sites: Severn Estuary (1983), Medway Estuary (1984, 1987), Dee Estuary (1991), Weymouth to Worbarrow Tout/ Winfrith (1984), Plymouth (1976, 1990), Sizewell (1975, 1988), Druridge Bay (1979), Hinkley Point (1983), Southampton Water (1987), Tremadog Bay (1986), Marchwood (1987), Dungeness (1983-1985), Wylfa, Anglesey (1985-86), Blyth (1984-1985) and Garrison Point Sheerness (1984).
