Lord Mayor Shoal to Pitt Shoals Bathymetry Survey, 30m Resolution (2023)

A bathymetry survey acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office between 1 October 2023 and 30 November 2023. Data was collected using a Kongsberg EM2040 MKII multibeam echosounder and processed into a 30-meter resolution GeoTIFF grid. The dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network.

Use Cases

• Model seabed topography based on the 30-meter resolution bathymetry grid.
• Analyze underwater features for marine habitat mapping based on the detailed depth data.
• Support coastal and offshore engineering planning based on the high-resolution survey.
• Integrate with nautical chart updates based on the hydrographic survey data.

Strengths

• Data was acquired using a specific high-resolution multibeam echosounder (Kongsberg EM2040 MKII).
• The processed output is a 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF with a defined 30-meter resolution.
• Survey has a precise temporal coverage from 1 October 2023 to 30 November 2023.

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.
