IN2017_E04 Southeast Tasmanian Coast Bathymetry 10m - 210m Multi-resolution AusSeabed products

Full description

This layer group describes multibeam echosounder data collected on RV Investigator voyage IN2017_E04 titled "Sea Trials, Calibration & Training". The voyage took place between December 7 and December 11, 2017, departing from Hobart (TAS) and arriving in Hobart (TAS).

The purpose of this voyage was to conduct tests and calibration of MNF equipment plus training for MNF staff and future scientific voyage participants.

This dataset is published with the permission of CSIRO. Not to be used for navigational purposes.

The dataset contains bathymetry grids of 10m to 210m resolution of the Southeast Tasmanian Coast produced from the processed EM122 and EM710 bathymetry data.
Lineage: Multibeam data was logged from the EM’s in Kongsberg’s proprietary *.all format and was converted to be processed within Caris HIPS and SIPS version 10.3.3. Once the raw files were converted into the HIPS and SIPS format the data was analysed for noise. Zerotide was applied, and the lines were merged using the vessel file appropriate for either the EM122 or EM710. The data was then gridded at the highest resolution possible and further inspected for outliers.

The data was then gridded at multiple resolutions in python Caris batch script using a Depth filter Vs Resolution guideline derived from AusSeabed Multibeam guidelines v2 and further inspected for outliers. Final raster products are available in L3 folder of this collection. Final processed data were also exported per line as GSF and ASCII format and available in the L2 folder of this collection.
