215 square kilometers of seafloor depth data collected for the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency from January to May 2011. The survey, conducted by NetSurvey under contract to East Riding of Yorkshire Council, adheres to the IHO S44ed5 Order 1a hydrographic standard. Samples and geological data are curated by the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Model seafloor topography and identify navigational hazards using bathymetric data for the 215 sq km area.
- Analyze geological sample data associated with the survey to characterize seabed composition.
- Validate hydrographic chart accuracy against the IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard survey data.
- Support coastal management and erosion studies for the Spurn Point to Flamborough Head coastline.
Strengths
- Survey covers a defined 215 square kilometer maritime area.
- Data collection followed the international IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard.
- Temporal coverage is precisely documented from 07/01/2011 to 05/05/2011.
