Port Fairy Wave Energy Bathymetry Survey from October 2015

A bathymetry survey acquired by Deakin University over two days in October 2015 (14/10/2015-15/10/2015). The survey was conducted onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system and is managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Modeling wave energy potential based on seabed depth data.
• Analyzing coastal geomorphology based on high-resolution bathymetric survey data.
• Assessing seabed suitability for marine infrastructure based on sonar-derived depth measurements.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over two specific days (14/10/2015-15/10/2015) with a known instrument (Kongsberg EM2040c).
• Data is associated with a specific research institution (Deakin University) and vessel (Motor Vessel Yolla).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
