Port Phillip Bay Bathymetry TieLines Survey from 2021

Port Phillip Bay bathymetry data collected along tie-lines between Sandringham and St Leonards. The survey was acquired by Deakin University Marine Mapping lab onboard the Motor Vessel Yolla on December 13, 2021 using a Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system. These data were collected to assess the movement of sediment through time.

Use Cases

• Modeling sediment transport pathways based on bathymetric survey data.
• Analyzing seafloor change over time based on tie-line survey data.
• Calibrating regional hydrodynamic models based on high-resolution bathymetry.

Strengths

• Data was collected using a specific, high-resolution Kongsberg EM2040c sonar system.
• Survey has a precise acquisition date of December 13, 2021.

Limitations

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