This is a Raster data set. It contains the following raster data types:
Planar coordinates are encoded using coordinate pair
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 10.0
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 10.0
Planar coordinates are specified in Meters
The horizontal datum used is NAD83.
The ellipsoid used is GRS80.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.00 meters.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/0.003352811.

Not applicable for raster data.
Estimated to be no less than 2 m, owing to water depth and total propagated uncertainties of the mapping systems, which include sonar system, position and motion compensation system, and navigation, as well as data processing that includes sounding cleaning, gridding, and datum transformations.
Not applicable to backscatter data.
