Port Fairy to Portland Bathymetry (20200012S)

Authors / CoAuthors

Ierodiaconou, D. | Young, M.

Abstract

The Port Fairy to Portland bathymetry survey was acquired by Deakin University Marine Mapping lab onboard the M/V Yolla over 6 days in 2020 using a Kongsberg EM2040C. This survey was part of the Victorian Coastal Monitoring Program, which requires bathymetry data to understand offshore sediment dynamics within Victorian coastal waters. This dataset contains a 2m-resolution 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF file of the bathymetry in the study area, derived from the bathymetry data processed using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.

Lineage

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. Survey metadata: This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Port Fairy to Portland bathymetry survey acquired by Deakin University during the period of 15 July to 10 November 2020 onboard the MV Yolla using a Kongsberg EM2040c multibeam sonar. The Port Fairy to Portland bathymetry survey was led by Dr. Daniel Ierodiaconour (Deakin University). The survey was part of a Victorian Coastal Monitoring Program, which requires bathymetry data to understand offshore sediment dynamics within Victorian state waters. Metadata: The multibeam bathymetry was acquired by the following survey: - Survey Name: Port Fairy to Portland Survey 2020 (20200012S) - Vessel Name: MV Yolla - Institution: Deakin University - Country: Australia - Operator: Deakin University - Multibeam system: EM2040c - Year of installation: 2013 - Nominal sonar frequency: 300 kHz - Number of heads: 1 - Number of soundings: 400 - Beamwidth along track: 1.3 degree - Beamwidth across track: 1.3 degree - Pulse length: variable - Selectable depth range: variable - Vessel speed: variable - Start Date: 15/07/2020 - End Date: 10/11/20120 - Start Port: Port Fairy - End Port: Port Fairy - Grid resolution: 2 m - Number of grids: 1 - Use Limitation: This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. - This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia - Vertical Datum: EGM2008 (~MSL) - Horizontal Datum: WGS84 UTM 54S (EPSG:32754) Processing methodology: This dataset was produced using CARIS HIPS & SIPS and the AusSeabed-recommended processing methodology as follows. 1. A new Caris project was created in conjunction with existing or newly created vessel configuration file(s). 2. The raw swath sonar data files were imported to the project. GGK is the preferred navigation and ellipsoid height source. 3. The POSMV data files were imported to the project to bring in delayed heave, delayed heave RMS. 4. Post-processed POS MV data in POSPAC 8.3. 5. Applied SBETS to data in CARIS (PPK Solution). 6. TPU and GPS tide were computed and all data were georeferenced (merged) to Ellipsoid datum. 7. A CUBE was generated as a reference surface for data cleaning. 8. An automated data cleaning using the surface cleaning method with the reference surface was undertaken. 9. Further manual cleaning was conducted as required after visual assessment. 10. The final grid was produced at an optimum resolution of 2m. 11. At Geoscience Australia, the received GeoTIFF was shifted to EGM2008 using AusCoastVDT and CARIS HIPS and SIPS. 12. The final processed grids were exported as a 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF at 2m resolution, referenced to EGM2008.
