During the oceanographic surveys conducted aboard the R/V Cornide de Saavedra (Spanish Institute of Oceanography, IEO-CSIC), its continuous navigation echosounder device was integrated into the data management system in 2011. Subsequently, daily data transmission to the IEO/NODC data center continued until the conclusion of vessel activity in 2013. Following a comprehensive review of quality control and assessment, encompassing clock verification, positional data, and recorded values, the entire dataset was provided with quality flags (QF) to optimize its usability. Both the data files and QF align with seadatanet.org standards. Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI. The metadata elements have been further processed (refined) in EMODnet Ingestion Service in order to conform with the Data Submission Service specifications.

GEMS Survey Ltd. (GEMS) were contracted by Forewind Limited to undertake a bathymetric and geophysical survey of the Tranche A development area and two met mast locations (which were later revised) within the Dogger Bank Zone, in addition to a cable reconnaissance from Tranche A to the Yorkshire coastline. This survey was carried out between 8 July 2010 and 26 December 2010. The primary objectives of the survey were to produce sufficiently high resolution bathymetric and geophysical data and interpretations to allow regional interpretation for planning and modelling purposes; for met mast design to commence and to provide high quality data to inform further benthic and environmental surveys. GEMS supplied interpreted datasets compatible with ESRI ArcGIS software. The GIS data included bathymetry, sidescan sonar mosaics, seabed features, sediments and obstructions.
