This British Geological Survey (BGS) marine geophysical survey took place in June/July 2001 in the UK designated area north of 62N aboard the RSS Discovery (Cruise D254). The purpose was to gather data which could be used to map the regional geology of the area. A total of 3329 km of generally good quality data were collected in a grid of 24 survey tracks. Sea floor data were collected using an echo-sounder. Subsurface data were gathered using a suite of seismic instruments (airgun, sparker, pinger), plus a gravity meter and a magnetometer. Most of the data were recorded digitally, but paper records were generated also. The data are archived by BGS. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Internal Report IR/01/178.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 27327 |
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. | British Geological Survey (BGS) Geophysical Survey 2001/1: UKCS north of 62N (25/06/2001 to 25/07/2001) |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | D254 |
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. | abc9f747-536d-0f38-e044-0003ba9b0d98 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | BGS_CMD_REF290 |
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 | 2001-06-25 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2001-07-25 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 5 |
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'. | notPlanned |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Geophysical equipment types used included: Airgun/Sleeve Gun, Echo Sounder, Gravimeter, Magnetometer, Pinger and Sparker. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. For more detailed information on the acquisition equipment and data collection techniques, operational standards, data processing methods and quality control procedures used on this survey see the Report of Survey/Cruise Report and associated documentation where available. The information available may vary depending on the age of the survey. Data are checked and loaded to the BGS Coastal and Marine data management system following BGS marine data management procedures. |
