Technical report 112
A catalogue of Defra historical research vessel data
This Technical Report describes the information that is now
available in the RV data archive at our Lowestoft laboratory. It
contains:
- the type of information that was discovered
- the methods that were used to summarise the data from the
archive
- a brief description of the Excel "Historic RV database" that
was created from this archive. The database is a catalogue of
information held in the archive and does not contain raw data
collected during any of the surveys.
- how the database can be used to retrieve specific datasets. The
report provides examples of potentially valuable time-series
data that are available for further analysis.
The database may be downloaded below. Also available for
download is a PDF file containing images of some of the research
vessels included in the catalogue:
