Metadata: 2012, BGS, Argyll Array, Marine Geosciene Programme (Multibeam and Boomer)
Abstract:
Marine Scotland, the British Geological Survey and the Northern Lighthouse Board have entered into a collaborative Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). These MoUs provide the basis for the collaborative survey of Scotland’s seas in order to further our understanding of Scotland’s marine environment, increase the efficiency of use of public resources, enhance the safety of those at sea and contribute too new policy priorities such as marine protected areas, wider conservation measures, marine planning and renewables. This report details a marine survey undertaken by the British Geological Survey (BGS) on behalf of Marine Scotland, utilising the Northern Lighthouse Board Vessel the NLV Polestar from the 23rd of July to 6th of August 2012. The report details the operational aspects of the survey to the South West of Tiree using Surface Tow Boomer (STB) and Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) equipment. There is no geological interpretation of the data. The BGS staff involved were: Rhys Cooper; Kirstin Crombie; Simon Ritson; David Wallis and contract Hydrographer Gillian Horner.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 34686 |
| 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, BGS, Argyll Array, Marine Geosciene Programme (Multibeam and Boomer) |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Marine Geosciene Programme (Multibeam and Boomer) |
| 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. | f8fd7882-be0f-42dd-8cd4-a8b2d6898b70 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-17 |
| 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 | 2012-07-22 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012-08-05 |
| 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. | Bathymetric data was collected using a Kongsberg EM3002D dual head, multibeam system. Data was acquired using a Kongsberg SIS operating system, logging raw .ALL files. This data was processed offline using CARIS HIPS and SIPS 7.1 SP2. Backscatter mosaics were created using Fledermaus GeoCoder FMGT. The position of the vessel was obtained from an Applanix POS MV 320 with DGPS corrections from a Fugro SeaSTAR receiver. A Valeport TideMaster tide gauge was installed on Tiree and all depths were reduced to Chart Datum. UKHO’s VORF model was used to define the relationship between the ETRF 89 ellipsoid height measured at the tide gauge and Chart Datum. Sound velocity profiles were undertaken at a maximum interval of twelve hours or as required. The Northern Lighthouse Boards own sound velocity profile (SVP) probe was used. The EM3002D has a SV sensor mounted at the heads providing a real-time indication of sound velocity at the transducer face. Seismic data was collected using an Applied Acoustics Surface Tow Boomer (STB) and BGS Hydrophone summing amplifier and pre-filter. CODA DA2000 was used as the acquisition system and CODA GeoSurvey for processing. |
