Navigation was by differential GPS using Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers (accurate to <1m). CARIS HIPS was used to process bathymetry data including correcting for vessel offset.
The vertical resolution of the original bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Depths are corrected for tides.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on these data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
