22 to 45 square kilometers of seabed were surveyed for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's Civil Hydrography Programme. The bathymetric data was collected over a one-month period from June 30 to July 29, 2005, adhering to the IHO S44 Edition 4 Order 1 standard. The British Geological Survey holds the samples and associated geological data from this survey.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric data to chart seabed topography and identify navigational hazards within the 22-45 sq km survey area.
- Process hydrographic survey data collected to IHO S44 Order 1 standard for maritime safety and coastal zone management.
- Integrate geological sample data from the British Geological Survey for seafloor composition studies in the Sunk to Long Sand Head region.
Strengths
- Survey conducted to the international IHO S44 Edition 4 Order 1 hydrographic standard.
- Covers a defined geographic area of 22 to 45 square kilometers.
- Data collection timeframe is precisely documented as June 30 to July 29, 2005.
Limitations
- Specific data structure (rows, columns, file formats) is unknown, complicating immediate technical use.
- Sample data and column definitions are unavailable, preventing assessment of data granularity and variables.
