British Geological Survey (BGS) collected geophysical data during a 1992 survey in Cardigan Bay. The survey, conducted from September 14 to 21, 1992, used gravity meters, magnetometers, and echo sounders. Technical details are documented in BGS Report WB/92/23.
Use Cases
- Analyze gravity and magnetometer readings to map subsurface geological structures in Cardigan Bay.
- Process echo sounder data for bathymetric modeling of the seabed.
- Correlate survey findings from the September 1992 timeframe with regional geological reports.
Strengths
- Data collected by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
- Survey conducted over a defined 7-day period from 14/09/1992 to 21/09/1992.
- Multiple instrument types (gravity, magnetometer, echo sounder) provide complementary geophysical measurements.
Limitations
- Dataset size, row count, and column structure are unknown.
- Data is from a single survey in 1992 and may not reflect current conditions.
- Specific file formats and data accessibility details are not provided.
