Lacepede Channel Bathymetry Survey at 30m Resolution

19 May 2021 – 22 Sep 2021 bathymetry survey of the Lacepede Channel, Western Australia, conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office. Data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040 Mk II multibeam echosounder onboard the MV Pacific Conquest and USV Blue Shadow - 901, and processed with Caris Hips & Sips software. The final product is a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography based on high-resolution bathymetric data.
• Analyze underwater channel morphology based on the processed GeoTIFF grid.
• Support marine habitat mapping based on the detailed depth information.
• Integrate with nautical charting systems based on the survey's hydrographic purpose.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a defined period from 19 May 2021 to 22 Sep 2021.
• Data processed to a specific 30-meter grid resolution.
• Acquired using a named, high-end sensor (Kongsberg EM2040 Mk II).

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.
