The deployment of the met-ocean buoy off Mace Head (53°19'50.8"N 9°55'57.7"W) in October 2023. Integrating the longest continuously maintained oceanographic monitoring stations in Europe within a network of new buoys equipped with oceanographic sensors, acoustic recorders and advanced fish tracking technology.
This dataset shows the point locations of shipwrecks in Irish Waters surveyed by INSS and INFOMAR national seabed mapping projects. Over 480 surveyed shipwrecks have been recorded in the INFOMAR shipwreck inventory. The database accurately records the location of shipwrecks (known, unknown and in some cases uncharted), and contains detailed …
Survey tracklines delineate the line along which the vessel travelled as it was surveying. The vessel collects multibeam echosounder data (MBES) by emitting a fan of soundwaves and recording the reflected signal. The area of seabed ensonified is known as the footprint and the area surveyed along a transect is …
This dataset shows the area of seabed mapped by both the INFOMAR and Irish National Seabed Survey projects to date. Each survey leg is represented by a unique polygon whose title is coded using the initials of the vessel that did the survey, the year the survey was completed and …
INFOMAR Seabed Samples Particle Size Analysis represent locations where samples have been taken and particle size analysis (PSA) carried out on samples. PSA is applied to determine the range of sediment sizes contained in the sample. These size classes can then be grouped into mud, sand and gravel on the …
The Marine Research Infrastructures team operate and manage Ireland's contribution to Argo - a global array of autonomous floats or profilers, deployed across the world's oceans, reporting subsurface ocean water properties to a wide range of users via satellite transmission links to data centers. The international Argo programme currently has …
