This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_84.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.
Whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Position of the launches acquiring multibeam bathymetry were monitored by an Applanix TSS POS/MV 320 Version 3 GPS aided navigation system. Real-time positioning during LIDAR acquisition was obtained by an Ashtech GG24 GPS receiver combined with Thales GeoSolutions Wide Area DGPS. Ashtech Z12 GPS receivers, provided as part of the Airborne System and Ground Systems, also logged GPS data on the aircraft and at a locally established base station to provide post processed KGPS position solutions.
This data layer shows the extent and locations of the areas surveyed during NOAA surveys H11441 and H11224.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
