The Adolphus Channel to Great North East Channel bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) during the period 16 Nov 2023 – 8 Feb 2024. This was a contracted survey conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office by PHS as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040-07|Kongsberg 2040P MKII and processed using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area.
This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
