1999 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1 RRS Charles Darwin (119C) SEA1 Survey Leg 1 (or A) seabed survey (Faroe Shetland Channel)

1999 SEA1 (White Zone) - TOBI surveys of the Wyville-Thomson Ridge and the eastern slope of the Faeroe-Shetland Channel carried out during the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1. This preliminary report describes the data collection and interpretation carried out by Southampton Oceanography Centre in the summer of 1999. The work was carried out in two survey legs, Leg A was a regional side-scan sonar survey, whilst leg B was a seafloor survey of targets selected from the results of leg 1. This preliminary report is presented in 4 sections: Section 1 - Cruise report for Leg A; Section 2 - Cruise report for Leg B; Section 3 - Regional environmental interpretation from side-scan sonar and camera data; Section 4 - Initial environmental assessment. Raw data and the survey report are available.

    Statement

    Report prepared by Southampton Oceanography Centre (SOC) as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. Preliminary image processing was carried out on board, producing sidescan mosaics at a scale of 1 :50,000. Sidescan and profile data were then combined into an integrated interpretation. Although TOBI is primarily a sidescan sonar vehicle a number of other instruments are fitted to make use of the stable platform provided by TOBi. For this survey the instrument compliment was: 30 kHz sidescan sonar (Built by SOC); 7.5 kHz pro filer (Built by SOC); Three axis fluxgate magnetometer. (Ultra Electronics Magnetics Division MB5L); CTD (Falmouth Scientific Instruments Micro-CTD); Pitch and Roll sensor (G + G Technics ag SSY0091)
