Lineage

The extents if multibeam was derived from the actual swath data extents using ESRI ArcMap. GeoTiff or Arc Grids were created in Fledermaus using the processed XYZ survey data (when possible) for this purpose. The attributes were populated when possible, however, HI_number and HI_name are MCA/UKHO specific and so not populated. BGS_ID and Location information added. Contract - the contract under which this survey was undertaken. Contractor - The survey contractor which undertook the work. Standard - The overall standard to which the survey data was gathered. In general the data was collected without any standard in mind and this attriubute has been left blank. Start_Date. End_date. FY_Comissi - Financial year of commission. Status - indicates survey completion. Although, all surveys have been completed, not all have been fully processed. Area_kmSq (WGS_84_UTM30N). A Comments field has also been added for more survey specific information.
