Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) bathymetric survey HI1338 contains seabed depth measurements for East Anglia. The survey was conducted from August 3 to November 27, 2010, under the Civil Hydrography Programme and adheres to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard.
Use Cases
- Analyze seabed depth variations across the four specified survey areas (EA10, EA9, EA3) to map underwater topography.
- Validate bathymetric survey methodologies and data quality against the IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard.
- Integrate area-specific bathymetric data (e.g., EA9 covering 20 SqKm) with other marine geological datasets for coastal studies.
Strengths
- Survey conducted under the standardized IHO S44ed5 Order 1a specification for hydrographic data.
- Data covers four distinct geographic areas (EA10, EA9, EA3) with defined extents, including one area of 20 square kilometers.
- Managed and held by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
Limitations
- Core data attributes like row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable, limiting analytical readiness.
- Data is temporally stale, representing a single survey from 2010 with no indication of updates.
