Abstract
The King Island North, Bass Strait, bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) onboard the M/V Pacific Quest during the period 28 January to 6 May 2021. This was a contracted survey conducted as part of the HydroScheme Industry Partnership Program (HIPP). The survey area encompasses a region located north of King Island in Bass Strait, including the approaches to Phoques Bay, located at the NW extremity of King Island. Bathymetry data was acquired using a Kongsberg EM2040D and processed using QPS Qimera V2.0.1. The dataset was then exported to GeoTIFF using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset contains a 30m-resolution 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF file of the bathymetry in the survey area. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

While AusSeabed aims to publish data based on the requirements stated in the AusSeabed multibeam guidelines (version 1, https://australian-multibeam-guidelines.github.io), we will also publish interim products (version 0) that are currently available, but have not yet been standardised (version 1). Users should be aware that V1 products will always supersede V0 products. This dataset was produced using CARIS HIPS & SIPS and the AusSeabed-recommended processing methodology as follows.<br> <br> This surface is a 30 metre Shoal Depth TRue Position (SDTP) derived from International Hydrographic Organisation Order (IHO) 1A, 1 and 2 metre Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) surfaces supplied to the Australian Hydrographic Office, with depth, position, density and uncertainty preserved from the original surface. Full resolution surfaces available from AHO on request under restricted licence.<br> <br> Survey parameters:<br> The multibeam bathymetry was acquired by the following survey:<br> - Survey Name: SI 1013 King Island North Bass Strait (20210020S)<br> - Vessel Name: MV Pacific Crest<br> - Institution: Australian Hydrographic Office<br> - Country: Australia<br> - Operator: N/A<br> - Multibeam system: Kongsberg EM2040D<br> - Year of installation: 2021<br> - Nominal sonar frequency: 300-400 kHz<br> - Number of heads: N/A<br> - Number of soundings: N/A<br> - Beamwidth along track: N/A<br> - Beamwidth across track: N/A<br> - Pulse length: N/A<br> - Selectable depth range: N/A<br> - Vessel speed: N/A<br> - Start Date: 28/01/2021<br> - End Date: 06/05/2021<br> - Start Port: N/A<br> - End Port: N/A<br> - Grid resolution: 30m<br> - Number of grids: 1<br> - Use Limitation: This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.<br> - Vertical Datum: MSL depth (EPSG:5715)<br> - Horizontal Datum: WGS 84 (EPSG:4326)<br> <br> Processing methodology:<br> 1.
