Metadata: Processed multibeam bathymetry grids from the Whittard Canyon (JC125, 2015).
Abstract:
Multibeam swath bathymetry data were collected with a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM120 and EM710 echosounder during RRS James Cook cruise JC125 (Chief Scientist Veerle Huvenne) from August-September 2015. The cruise was conducted to map Whittard Canyon, a deep ocean canyon in the Bay of Biscay, in order to obtain a better insight in the biodiversity patterns, benthic habitat distributions and sediment transport processes of submarine canyons. The data were edited using Caris HIPS software by Catherine Wardell and gridded at 50 m spacing (EM120) and 10 m (EM710) in a WGS84 UTM Zone 29N projection. The vertical datum of the data is matched to mean sea level (MSL). They were exported as longitude-latitude-depth triples. Funding was provided by the European Research Council to CodeMap (Grant No 258482) and the UK's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to MAREMAP.

| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 3849376c6ea858c380258401dc224e68 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | EDMED7283 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-08-09 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2015-09-12 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC), who ingested the data into the National Oceanography Database (NODB). The data were also transformed into a format suitable for submission to the EMODnet Bathymetry High Resolution Seabed Mapping community. Both versions of the data were subsequently published via DOI.Instrument(s) used to collect data: multi-beam echosounders. |
