Description:
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey and the Monterey Bay Aquarium
Research Institute (MBARI) acquired bathymetric and
backscatter data with a multibeam (Simrad EM300) sidescan
sonar system in the Monterey Bay region in 1998 (A4-98-MB,
http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank). This data set
consists of the bathymetric data that were collected from
the continental shelf areas of the survey between Moss
Landing and Point Sur, California. The data are provided as
ArcInfo grids with 5-m resolution (MTCAN5G, MTSHLF5G,
SGF5G, SUR5G) and as shaded relief images (MTCANSD.TIF,
MTSHLFSD.TIF, SGFSD.TIF, SURSD.TIF).
This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic
information system of spatially referenced data related to
the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay
National Marine Sanctuary Project"
. The data were collected
and analyzed between 1994 and 2000.
Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy
makers, and the general public. The data can be
used with geographic information systems (GIS) software
to display geologic and oceanographic information
about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay
National Marine Sanctuary.
Supplemental_Information:
A298MB is a multibeam sonar survey of the the seafloor between
Moss Landing and Point Sur, California.
