927 square kilometers of seafloor depth data for Carmarthen Bay, collected from June to September 2013 under IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standards. The survey was conducted by contractor EMU for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's Civil Hydrography Programme, with samples and geological data archived at the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric data to map seafloor topography and identify navigational hazards within the 927 sq km survey area.
- Process survey data collected to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standards for hydrographic charting and coastal zone management.
- Integrate geological sample data from the British Geological Survey archive for sediment distribution studies in Carmarthen Bay.
