The GA representative onboard was Mr. George Bernardel. This dataset was acquired and processed onboard by Fugro and further reprocessing of the data was conducted in the office by Cameron Buchanan and by Michele Spinoccia, using CARIS HIPS & SIPS ver 7.1.2. The naming of the raw bathymetry data had to be changed to show the date, time and vessel. Then the timing of the raw and the processed data needed to matched as the raw and processed bathymetry data timing did not match. Then the navigation for different files/days were missing and needed to be loaded and merged with the rest of the dataset. 1. First a vessel configuration file was created where the co-ordinates of the motion sensor and DGPS antenna and patch test offsets were recorded. 2. A new project was then created and the vessel configuration file was attached to the project file. 3. The raw swath sonar data, in raw.all format, for each line was then imported into the project and the vessel information assigned to the data. 4. The motion sensor, DGPS and heading data were then cleaned using a filter that averaged adjacent data to remove artifacts. 5. Different sound velocity profiles data for each block were attached to the corresponding raw swath sonar data files to correct the depths for changes in the speed of sound through the water column. 6. Then a new blank field area was defined that specified the geographic area of study and the co-ordinate system used. The co-ordinates for the study areas were WGS84 UTM-50S. 7. The data was cleaned by applying several filters that removed any remaining spikes in the bathymetry data using user defined threshold values. A visual inspection of the data for each line was then undertaken where artifacts and noisy data not removed by the filtering process were removed manually using Swath and subset editors modules of the Caris HIPS/SIPS software. 8. All the data for each bathymetric, motion sensor, DGPS, heading, tide and sound velocity profile data were merged to produce the final processed data file. A weighted grid of the processed data was then created for each Block. In GA the tide was applied to the grid to correct for tidal variations and velocity corrections were performed to correct for different artifacts and mismatches. 9. The processed data was finally exported as grids soundings or false colored images for presentation and reporting and as final processed data in in ASCII XYZ as well as geotif formats of 50m resolution. 10-Using CARIS Base editor 4.0 the grids were exported as ESRI ASCII grid, then imported into ARC catalogue/info to create a raster file for the entire survey.&rft.creator=Spinoccia, M. &rft.creator=Buchanan, C. &rft.date=2013&rft.coverage=westlimit=115.24; southlimit=-32.35; eastlimit=115.74; northlimit=-31.79&rft.coverage=westlimit=115.24; southlimit=-32.35; eastlimit=115.74; northlimit=-31.79&rft_rights=&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence&rft_rights=CC-BY&rft_rights=4.0&rft_rights=http://creativecommons.org/licenses/&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link&rft_rights=Australian Government Security ClassificationSystem&rft_rights=https://www.protectivesecurity.gov.au/Pages/default.aspx&rft_rights=WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link&rft_rights=Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0&rft_subject=geoscientificInformation&rft_subject=ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES&rft_subject=HVC_144641&rft_subject=AusSeabed&rft_subject=Marine Data Bathymetry Grid&rft_subject=bathymetry&rft_subject=marine survey&rft_subject=environmental&rft_subject=continental shelf&rft_subject=marine&rft_subject=WA&rft_subject=Published_External&rft.type=dataset&rft.language=English Access the data
