<br>

Processing methodology:<br>

This dataset was produced using CARIS HIPS & SIPS and the AusSeabed-recommended processing methodology as follows.<br>

1. A new Caris project was created in conjunction with existing or newly created vessel configuration file(s).<br>

2. The raw swath sonar data files were imported to the project. GGK is the preferred navigation and ellipsoid height source.<br>

3. The POSMV data files were imported to the project to bring in delayed heave, delayed heave RMS.<br>

4. Post-processed POS MV data in POSPAC 8.3.<br>

5. Applied SBETS to data in CARIS (PPK Solution).<br>

6. TPU and GPS tide were computed and all data were georeferenced (merged) to Ellipsoid datum.<br>

7. A CUBE was generated as a reference surface for data cleaning.<br>

8. An automated data cleaning using the surface cleaning method with the reference surface was undertaken.<br>

9. Further manual cleaning was conducted as required after visual assessment.<br>

10. The final grid was produced at an optimum resolution of 2m.<br>

11. The final processed grids were exported as a 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF at 2m resolution, referenced to EGM2008.<br>
