Australian coastal and marine vertical height data focuses on reconciling bathymetric datums. The report presents a methodology to calculate uncertainty for short-span Mean Sea Level observations relative to a long-term reference epoch. It was produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Joining bathymetry datasets based on reconciled height datums mentioned in the description
- Calculating uncertainty for Mean Sea Level observations relative to a reference epoch as described
- Creating an ellipsoidal Mean Sea Level surface with uncertainties for coastal applications
- Evaluating alternative tidal planes for defining the intertidal zone around Mean Sea Level
Strengths
- Focuses on reconciling bathymetric height datums for Australian coastal and marine data
- Methodology presented for calculating uncertainty for Mean Sea Level observations
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Methodologies for computing uncertainties of LAT and HAT tidal planes were not developed
