1094 kilometers of marine seismic data were collected across 11 survey lines in the Irish Sea from May to July 1968. The survey was commissioned by the British Geological Survey and acquired by Seismograph Service (England) Ltd aboard the m.v. Norbjorn, using explosive charges and Decca Main chain navigation.
Use Cases
- Analyze sub-surface geological structures using seismic reflection data from 11 survey lines.
- Map regional stratigraphy in the Irish Sea using the 1094 km of acquired survey track data.
- Study historical marine geophysical acquisition methods from the 1968 time period.
Strengths
- Survey covers a substantial 1094 kilometers of track line data.
- Data acquisition details are documented in a dedicated Acquisition Report.
- Commissioned and archived by the authoritative British Geological Survey.
Limitations
- Data is from 1968 and may not reflect modern acquisition standards or resolution.
- Specific data columns, file formats, and sample sizes are unknown.
- Limited to a specific geographic area (Irish Sea, Cardigan Bay) and time period.
