The purpose was to investigate the superficial deposits of the clyde area, this survey was Phase 1 of a 5 phase project. Sea floor data were collected using echosounder and sidescan sonar. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using Pinger and Sparker. These records are archived by BGS. Details of the survey are contained in IGS report 73/9.
This survey was conducted by the Institiute of Geological Sciences (now British Geological Survey), the aim was to acquire data to the highest standard of quality, there were no documented procedures or processes in place to describe the QC and management of the data after it was acquired. Information for this survey is sourced from IGS report 73/9. Navigation - Decca main chain. Geophysical equipment: Echo-sounder - Kelvin Hughes M.S.32; Transit sonar - Kelvin Hughes; Sparker - E.G. and G.; Magnetometer - Varian.
