Full coverage multibeam survey collecting bathymetry and backscatter to client specifications, namely International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Order 1a standard, WGS84 latitude and longitude co-ordinates collected by Differential Global Positioning System (D-GPS), depths corrected to Vertical Offshore Reference Frame (VORF), crosslines run at 20 times spacing of main lines. Raw and processed data delivered to Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, UK (Cefas) complete with georeferenced mosaics and GeoTiffs images. Drop down video, static images, mini Hamon grab data and navigation data relating to the benthic survey conducted at Orford Inshore MCZ by the RV Discovery in March 2012. Positions given in Lat/ Long WGS84. These data are archived with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (DACs) including the British Geological Survey (BGS) DAC for geology and geophysics, The Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH) and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) bathymetry DAC. The full site data package including raw is also available on request from BGS.
