Jervis Bay High-Resolution Bathymetry Grid from 2008 Survey

A 2008 survey acquired high-resolution bathymetry data in Jervis Bay, Australia, using a Kongsberg EM3002D system. The data was collected by Geoscience Australia from May 31 to June 5, 2008, aboard the vessel MV Kimbla. The resulting bathymetry grids have a 1-meter resolution and are projected in WGS84 UTM 56S.

Use Cases

• Modeling shallow-water seabed topography based on 1-meter resolution bathymetry grids.
• Testing bathymetric acquisition system performance based on data from the Kongsberg EM3002D system.
• Analyzing geophysical features of a shallow water (less than 100m depth) environment as described in the survey aim.

Strengths

• High-resolution 1-meter grid cells for detailed analysis.
• Specific temporal coverage from May 31 to June 5, 2008.
• Clear geographic focus on Jervis Bay, Australia.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic/temporal bias inherent to a single 2008 survey.
