Description
A 2021 bathymetry survey of Lacepede Channel, Western Australia, acquired between 19 May and 22 September. The data was collected for the Australian Hydrographic Office by Fugro using a Kongsberg EM2040 Mk II multibeam sonar and processed with Caris Hips & Sips software. The final product is a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.
Use Cases
Modeling seabed terrain and slope based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetric grid.
Analyzing underwater habitat suitability based on depth and morphology data.
Supporting marine spatial planning and environmental impact assessments based on the high-resolution survey.
Integrating with other marine datasets for geological or hydrodynamic studies based on the geospatial format.
Strengths
Data acquired with a high-resolution Kongsberg EM2040 Mk II multibeam sonar system.
Processed and exported as a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.
Survey conducted over a defined four-month period in 2021, providing temporal specificity.
Limitations
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and column definitions require manual inspection after download.
Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
