Abstract
This Open File Report contains bathymetric data collected in Florida Bay by the US Geological Survey, South Florida Place-Based Studies Program using SANDS (System for Accurate Nearshore Depth Surveying). SANDS is a USGS developed, high precision bathymetric system which integrates depth soundings, boat motion, and GPS positioning needed for nearshore bathymetric mapping. Data acquisition occurred between 1995 and 1999 on a 22' shallow draft boat. Processed data points are in X, Y, Z format and relative to the North American Datum of 1983 (GRS80/NAD83) and the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). Vertical control was derived from GPS data processed with Jet Propulsion Laboratory GIPSY software. Horizontal and vertical accuracies are within +/- 4 centimeters and +/- 8 centimeters, respectively.
