Navigation was by differential GPS. CARIS HIPS was used to process bathymetry data including correcting for vessel offset.
The vertical resolution of the bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Although there are no depth attributes associated with the GeoTIFF image, pixel values convey RGB values of individual cells. Warmer colors (e.g. red) are shallower depths; cooler colors are deeper.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
