HI1433 survey data from the Thames Estuary, collected between September and December 2013. The dataset covers five distinct survey areas with a total surveyed area of 33 square kilometers, conducted under the Civil Hydrography Programme. Data is held by the British Geological Survey and adheres to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a hydrographic standards.
Use Cases
- Analyze seafloor depth and morphology across the five specified Thames Estuary survey areas (e.g., TE3A Sunk Focussed, TE14 North East Spit).
- Validate and update nautical charts using bathymetric data collected to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard.
- Model sediment transport or tidal flows using the detailed spatial coverage of the 33 square kilometer survey region.
- Assess changes in channel morphology by comparing this 2013 survey data with earlier or later bathymetric records for the Thames.
Strengths
- Data collection follows the defined IHO S44ed5 Order 1a hydrographic survey standard.
- Survey covers a total area of 33 square kilometers across five distinct Thames Estuary locations.
