Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) bathymetric survey HI1398 covers four survey areas totaling 235 square kilometers in the Thames region. The data was collected by contractor MMT/NetSurvey from October to December 2012, adhering to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard. Samples and geological data are archived at the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric depth variations across the four defined survey areas (TE 2A, TE3A, TE7, TE5A) to map riverbed topography.
- Assess survey data quality and coverage against the IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard for hydrographic charting.
- Integrate geological sample data with bathymetric measurements for sediment transport studies in the Thames region.
Strengths
- Survey covers a defined total area of 235 square kilometers across four regions.
- Data collection adheres to the specific international hydrographic standard IHO S44ed5 Order 1a.
- Temporal scope is precisely documented from 06/10/2012 to 05/12/2012.
Limitations
- Specific data columns, sample counts, and file formats are unknown, limiting immediate analytical utility.
- Data is over a decade old, potentially not reflecting current bathymetric conditions.
