Adolphus Channel to Great North East Channel Bathymetry Survey (2023-2024)

The Adolphus Channel to Great North East Channel bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office between 16 November 2023 and 8 February 2024. Bathymetry data was collected using Kongsberg EM2040-07|Kongsberg 2040P MKII multibeam echosounders and processed with CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. The final dataset is a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid covering the survey area.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetric grid.
• Analyze underwater terrain features for marine habitat mapping based on high-resolution depth data.
• Support hydrographic charting and maritime safety research using data acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office.

Strengths

• Data was acquired using high-resolution Kongsberg EM2040-07|Kongsberg 2040P MKII multibeam echosounders.
• The final product is a processed 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.
• Survey conducted over a defined period from 16 Nov 2023 to 8 Feb 2024.
