Bathymetric survey data collected by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency from Duddon Sands to the Mull of Galloway. The survey was conducted between April 29, 1997, and May 23, 1998, with samples and geological data archived at the British Geological Survey.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric depth measurements to map seafloor topography along the surveyed coastal corridor.
- Correlate geological sample data with bathymetric readings to study seabed composition.
- Use the survey's temporal range (1997-1998) to establish a historical baseline for coastal geomorphology studies.
Strengths
- Data originates from a national hydrographic program (MCA Civil Hydrography Programme).
- Provides a defined temporal snapshot from April 1997 to May 1998.
- Managed and held by a national geological authority (British Geological Survey).
Limitations
- Specific data volume (row count), column features, and file formats are unknown.
- Data is over 25 years old and may not reflect current seabed conditions.
- Geographic coverage is limited to a specific corridor from Duddon Sands to Mull of Galloway.
