Multibeam bathymetry data collected during SMARTEX cruises JC241 and JC257 in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, 2023-2024
British Oceanographic Data Centre record 1048_SMARTEX_bathymetry
Multibeam bathymetry data were collected in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), Northeast Pacific Ocean, using a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder during RRS James Cook Cruise JC241 from 06/02/2023 to 25/03/2023, and JC257 from 08/02/2024 to 19/03/2024. Data acquisition began upon exiting the Costa Rican Econoic Exclusion Zone (EEZ), suspended within the Clipperton Island EEZ, and resumed upon exiting the Clipperton Island EEZ. Data were then acquired throughout the CCZ. This suspension was repeated on the return journey. The data were recorded using Kongsberg’s Seafloor Information System (SIS) in .all format, and CTD and model-derived sound velocity profiles were subsequently applied. The data were manually cleaned using swath and subset editors in CARIS HIPS and SIPS software version 10.4. A zero tide file was also applied. The data were collected to obtain a better insight in the biodiversity patterns and benthic habitat distributions within the CCZ, by scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK as part of the NERC-funded Seabed Mining And Resilience To EXperimental impact (SMARTEX) project (NE/T003537/1).

This dataset was created by the organisations with the "originator" role in this metadata record following their in-house data processing and quality control procedures. The data were recorded using Kongsberg's Seafloor Information System (SIS) in .all format, and CTD and model-derived sound velocity profiles were subsequently applied. The data were manually cleaned by the originator using swath and subset editors in CARIS HIPS and SIPS software version 10.4. The data were then provided to the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) for ingestion into the series schema of the National Oceanographic Database (NODB). During ingestion BODC undertake quality control, documentation and metadata enhancement procedures appropriate to the type of data. For an overview please see http://www.bodc.ac.uk/about/information_technology/data_processing_steps/. BODC supply full information about data collection, data processing and data quality with all data requests to enable users to assess data suitability themselves.Instrument(s) used to collect data: multi-beam echosounders.

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.
