HI1434 survey data covers 13 distinct seafloor areas in the Dover Strait, with individual areas ranging from 1 to 26 square kilometers. The British Geological Survey holds samples and geological data collected by contractor EGS for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency from September to December 2013, adhering to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard.
Use Cases
- Map seafloor bathymetry and calculate total surveyed area by aggregating the individual 'Area in SqKm' values for the 13 zones.
- Analyze geological sample distribution across the Dover Strait - DS1, DS4a, DS4b, DWR A, B2, C1, H, R1, R2, R3, and T survey areas.
- Validate hydrographic survey data quality against the IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard specified for the 2013 collection period.
Strengths
- Survey conducted to a defined international hydrographic standard (IHO S44ed5 Order 1a).
- Covers 13 distinct geographic areas within the Dover Strait, providing segmented spatial detail.
- Data collection time range is precisely documented from 01/09/2013 to 01/12/2013.
Limitations
- Specific data structure (rows, columns, file formats) and sample data are unavailable for review.
- The dataset's size and the exact nature of the 'samples and associated geological data' are not described.
