| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2006 UMBSM Clyde Sea Southannan Sands Survey |
| 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. | 2a95d2902cc47f250d0c8f8145d120c9 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | UMBSMSS00001 |
| 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 | 2006-10-03 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-10-03 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | A data set of a grab survey which was conducted to assess the sediment classification of Southannan Sands, a large mudflat on the west coast of Scotland. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This data set was collected by scientific members of the University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM). Images of the Southannan Sands sediment were produced by a Geo Acoustics sidescan sonar system. The system was operated at 410 kHz at a swathe of 220-300m during the survey. Areas of the sea bed observed during the study were classified into categories using an Acoustic Ground Discrimination System (AGDS) (Quester Tangent Corporation series V (QTCV)). The system was combined with an Echosounder (Simrad EK60), which was operated at a frequency of 38 kHz, and a Differential GPS receiver (GN30D) to produce a ground classification unit. During the study, five different sediment ground types were identified: Fine sand; Fine mud; Muddy sand; Coarse mud; and Muddy substrate. Confirmation of the precision of acoustic data in distinguishing sea bed characteristics was achieved by undertaking grab samples. Acoustic sidescan images and a mosaic of sample sites were obtained. |
