Abstract
The Northern Approaches to Broome multibeam survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the MV Bhagwan K during the period 05 August– 02 October 2020. This was a contracted survey conducted by EGS as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program. The survey area encompasses the northern approaches to Broome, WA located between the Talboys Rock and Gantheaume Point, Western Australia. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040D 200-400 kHz and processed using QPS QINSy 9.2.3 processing software. The dataset was then exported as a 30m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area. <BR>This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

<BR>AusSeabed follows the recommended processing methodology as prescribed by the AusSeabed Multibeam Guidelines. Please note that certain products are subject to routine update (e.g. resolution, coverage, temporal variation, guidelines/best practice). The client is advised to refer to the latest version of all documents and products for the most up-to-date material. For eCat records the version is expressed in the record title whilst products incorporate date of production as per AusSeabed’s file naming convention. <BR>This dataset was produced using QPS QINSy and the AusSeabed-recommended processing methodology as follows. <BR>This surface is a 30 metre Shoal Depth True Position (SDTP) surface derived from International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) Order 1A, 1 and 2 metre Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) surfaces supplied to the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO), with depth, position, density and uncertainty preserved from the original surface. <BR>Full resolution surfaces available from AHO on request under restricted licence. <BR> <BR>Survey metadata: <BR>The multibeam bathymetry was acquired by the following survey: aho_id: 39597302<BR> version: 1<BR> title: Northern Approaches to Broome, WA.
