Eclipse Shoals to Lombadina Point Bathymetry Survey (2022)

The SI 1025 Eclipse Shoals to Lombadina Point bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office by Ocean Infinity between 12 September 2022 and 3 December 2022. Data was collected using a Kongsberg EM2040P MKII multibeam echosounder and processed into a 30-meter resolution GeoTIFF grid. This dataset is part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program and covers an area in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetric grid.
• Analyzing coastal geomorphology in the Kimberley region based on the described survey area.
• Supporting marine spatial planning and environmental studies using the high-resolution bathymetric data.
• Integrating bathymetric data with other marine datasets for the Eclipse Shoals to Lombadina Point region.

Strengths

• Data was acquired using a specific, high-resolution sensor (Kongsberg EM2040P MKII).
• The processed output is a 30-meter resolution grid, providing a defined level of detail.
• Survey has a precise acquisition period from 12 September 2022 to 3 December 2022.
• Dataset is associated with a formal program (Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program).

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.
• The dataset is explicitly not to be used for navigational purposes, limiting its application scope.
