Horizontal position of the ship and launches acquiring multibeam bathymetry were determined by differential GPS. Real-time original horizontal resolution of the MBES data was 0.5 m for depths less than 20 m and 2 m for the deeper areas; the final CARIS combined base surface for the MBES data were produced at a 2-m cell size.
Attitude of the vessels (e.g. pitch, roll, and heave) acquiring multibeam bathymetry were monitored by Applanix TSS POS/MV 320 Version 3 GPS aided navigation systems. The vertical resolution of the original bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
