Metadata: 2014, Aspect Land and Hydrographic Surveys, Methil 2-B Energy, Multibeam and Geophysical Survey
Abstract:
On the instructions of 2-B Energy Ltd, Aspect Land and Hydrographic Surveys Ltd (ALHS) carried out multibeam bathymetric (MBES), magnetometer, side-scan sonar (SSS) and geophysical surveys at Methil in the Firth of Forth. The aim of the survey was to allow better understanding of the seabed as part of the licence application process for a wind turbine demonstration field. The survey methods used aimed to give information on the topography and distribution of any seabed objects in addition to an indication of seabed geomorphology and the depth of sediment overburden.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4804 |
| 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. | 2014, Aspect Land and Hydrographic Surveys, Methil 2-B Energy, Multibeam and Geophysical 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. | 6486d182-7033-4f06-8adf-22b5b1893bff |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | A5353 |
| 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 | 2014-08-06 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-11-21 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The horizontal datum used throughout the data gathering phase of the survey was OSGB36 (OSTN02™). Data has been rendered in OSGB36 Datum, British National Grid. The vertical datum for all rendered data is Chart Datum. ALHS’ R2Sonic 2024 multibeam sonar system (Figure 2) was controlled using R2Sonic Sonic Control 2000 software during the course of data gathering. Very detailed data with full seafloor coverage was gathered over the area of the survey using the R2Sonic 2024. It’s narrow beam width, high ping rate and the selection of 400 kHz as the main operating frequency ensured that the highest possible detail was achieved. The system was operated at the maximum ping rate achievable throughout the survey, such that the ping rate was controlled by the depth of water. Sound Velocity (SV) dips were carried out prior to commencing survey operations and thereafter whenever the surface sound velocity varied by more than 2ms-1 . |
