SI 1030 Bass Pyramid to Wright Block Bathymetry Survey (2023-2024)

16 Oct 2023 – 10 Jan 2024 survey acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office under the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. Bathymetry data was collected using a Kongsberg EM2040-07 multibeam sonar and processed with CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. The final product is a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid covering the Bass Pyramid to Wright Block area.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetry grid
• Analyze underwater terrain features in the Bass Pyramid to Wright Block area based on the survey coverage
• Integrate bathymetric data into marine navigation planning systems based on the high-resolution sonar acquisition
• Conduct geological or habitat mapping studies based on the processed GeoTIFF data

Strengths

• Data acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040-07 multibeam sonar, a high-precision instrument
• Processed and exported as a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid
• Survey conducted over a defined period from 16 Oct 2023 to 10 Jan 2024

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
