Metadata: 2012, Ocean Scientific International, Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2, Hydrosearch Water Samples and Grain Size Study
Abstract:
Hydrosearch collected two water samples at a depth of 4m below the surface, and two near bed at each site where oceanographic instruments were deployed. The vessel then steamed over the bank between sites and took two more water sampled over the bank itself. Two samples were taken at 6m below the surface, and two near bed for calibration of the turbidity sensor. The project examines the particle size analysis that was carried out on the water samples taken at Gunfleet Sands. Analyses were performed using a Micrometrics Sedigraph 5100, with samples dispersed in 0.05% sodium hexametaphosphate solution. Baseline calibrations were performed on both days to ensure that the Sedigraph was functioning correctly. Both were found to be stable, indicating that the output variability of the X-ray source was low and that the analysis chamber was running smoothly. Error derived from machine operation is therefore expected to be minimal.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 30675 |
| 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. | 2012, Ocean Scientific International, Gunfleet Sands 1 and 2, Hydrosearch Water Samples and Grain Size Study |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Hydrosearch Water Samples and Grain Size Study |
| 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. | b805e35c-8e8c-42fb-8786-ac97ba4d7e39 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-504 |
| 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 | 2012-01-17 |
