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. 2-B Energy Ltd The Boathouse Silversands Hawkcraig Road Aberdour KY3 0TZ info@2-benergy.com http://2benergy.com distributor Aspect Land & Hydrographic Surveys +44 (0)1294 313399 +44 (0)1294 313389 Thornhouse Business Centre, 30 Ballot Road Irvine North Ayrshire KA12 0HW United Kingdom mail@aspectsurveys.com http://www.aspectsurveys.co.uk originator Crown Estate Scotland 0131 260 6070 Quartermile Two, 2nd Floor, 2 Lister Square EH3 9GL enquiries@crownestatescotland.com custodian notPlanned Pre-Construction engineering The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 Offshore area of search The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Bathymetry and Elevation Side-scan sonar Magnetics SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2015-04-09 revision 88 Research and Development Activity The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Seismic reflection SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2016-10-05 revision 95 Seismic refraction SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2016-10-05 revision 95 geophysical Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx copyright otherRestrictions copyright otherRestrictions http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx http://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/pages/terms-of-use.aspx eng elevation environment -3.0547139 -2.9805998 56.1484077 56.1758317 2014-08-06 2014-11-21 xyz pdf inapplicable https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/CES-238/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site. series 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 .
