The Development of a Bathymetry Grid for the Gulf of Papua Region  


Authors / CoAuthors

Daniell, J.

Abstract

A new bathymetry grid for the Gulf of Papua and Northern Australia was produced for the area 137°-150°E, 6°-14°S, with 0.001° cell size using a minimum curvature spline under tension. New multibeam sonar bathymetry data and STRM topography added much needed detail to a region of the seabed where previously little was known. In shallow Australian waters bathymetry derived from Landsat satellite imagery was used to supplement traditionally acquired bathymetry data.
