Metadata: 2011-2012, Gardline Geosurvey, Zone 3 - Dogger Bank, Geophysical Survey of Tranche B project area
Abstract:
Gardline Geosurvey carried out a survey for Forewind Ltd at the proposed Tranche B project area of the Dogger Bank Offshore Wind site. The objective of the survey was to gather accurate bathymetric data, gain information on the thickness and sediment cover of the seabed sediments and shallow geology, produce evidence for the ongoing movement in seabed sediments, and provide information on any hazards or factors of operational significance for wind farm emplacement across the region. The survey made use of single beam and multi-beam echo sounder, sidescan sonar, pinger, sparker and magnetometer equipment. Survey work was undertaken on all of the Priority Areas, but only 1A and 1B were completed during the 2011 season, due to the prevailing poor weather conditions; work on areas 2A and 2B was postponed until 2012. The geophysical data acquisition programme was restarted in March 2012 and all Priority Areas were completed in May 2012. The survey covered an area measuring approximately 892km2, with mainlines spaced at 100m and crosslines spaced at 1000m. This metadata refers to the GIS data.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 18304 |
| 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. | 2011-2012, Gardline Geosurvey, Zone 3 - Dogger Bank, Geophysical Survey of Tranche B project area |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Geophysical Survey of Tranche B project area |
| 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. | 0fa9f915-5d1b-4b0e-b52b-e4461947c5aa |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2522 |
| 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. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011-06-11 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-05-25 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 100 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | urn:ogc:def:uom:EPSG::9001 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |

The survey covered an area measuring approximately 892km2, with mainlines spaced at 100m and orientated and crosslines spaced at 1000m (Survey line spacing is given as the spatial resolution). Datasets were originally created in AutoCAD format and converted then to GIS. |
