Furneaux Group Bathymetry Survey: 30m Resolution GeoTIFF (2022)

Bathymetry data for the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office between 11 April and 20 November 2022. The survey was conducted by Fugro Australia using LADS HD+/HD and RIEGL VQ-820-G systems from a Cessna 441 aircraft. The processed dataset is provided as a 30-meter resolution, 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.

Use Cases

• Modeling seafloor topography based on high-resolution bathymetric survey data.
• Analyzing underwater geological features based on the 30-meter resolution grid.
• Supporting marine habitat mapping based on detailed depth information.
• Providing a base layer for coastal and oceanographic research based on the defined survey area.

Strengths

• Data was acquired using specialized LADS HD+/HD and RIEGL VQ-820-G sensor systems.
• The final product is a high-resolution (30m) 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF grid.
• Survey has a defined temporal coverage from 11 April to 20 November 2022.

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.
