Helen's Rock Bathymetry Survey from 2013

Deakin University Marine Mapping lab acquired this bathymetry survey over one day in 2013 using a Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system. The data was collected onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It is explicitly not intended for navigational purposes.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography around Helen's Rock based on the bathymetry survey.
• Analyze underwater terrain features for geological research based on the sonar data.
• Integrate depth measurements into coastal zone management studies based on the survey location.
• Validate or compare with other bathymetric datasets from the same region based on the 2013 acquisition date.

Strengths

• Data was collected using a specific, high-resolution Kongsberg EM2040c multibeam sonar system.
• Survey acquisition details are precisely documented, including the date (27/11/2013), vessel (Motor Vessel Yolla), and institution (Deakin University).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
