NSW Environment Multi Beam Echo Sounder Gridded Data
1801586c-e84d-4929-88e0-7a06927126ed
Gridded multi-beam echousounder (MBES) bathymetry and backscatter data acquired using NSW government's (NSW Department of Climate Change Energy Environment and Water) multi-beam echosounder (MBES) systems aboard RV's Bombora, Seascan and Glaucus. Fieldwork surveys were completed as part of the SeabedNSW program funded by NSW government under State-wide Science (2022-30), Coastal Reforms (2015-2022), HabMap Program (2005-2015) or under collaboration with partner agencies or institutions (DPI, Parks Australia, NESP). Surveys are predominantly on the open coast and within NSW state waters (2017) with Applanix Wavemaster POSMV (>2011) providing positioning, height (RTK) and 3D motion solution; or Edgetech swath system w sidescan (>2021). MBES was collected in GS+ (GeoAcoustics) or Hypack with attitude and positional data acquired in POSView and post processed using POSPac either Single-Base or Precise-Point-Positioning modules for improved vessel Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory. Data were cube modeled in Fledermaus/Qimera software (>2010) to IHO 1B standard and cleaned-soundings exported before being gridded using bin-weighted averaging (generally 5 m grid cell size) relative to Australian Height Datum and issued in grid coordinates (UTM WGS84 Zone55 or 56; GDA2020 Zone 55 or 56). General details on vessel setup, mobilisation and processing are provided at https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/-/media/OEH/Corporate-Site/Documents/Research/Our-science-and-research/seabed-nsw-standard-operating-procedures-multibeam-surveying-190101.pdf with survey specific details in the Survey Report and survey Rigor Statement (provided upon request). Data packages provided via the Australian Oceanographic Data Network (https://portal.aodn.org.au/) include bathymetry and backscatter in multiple formats; while those provided on AusSeabed (https://portal.ga.gov.au/persona/marine) are gridded bathymetry and backscatter data as geotif only. Data are not to be used for navigation purposes.

Gridded data predominantly lies within NSW state coastal waters with some smaller subsets >3NM over the NSW inner shelf or within Victorian state waters (Cape Howe).

Grids (XYZ, TIF, SD) of bathymetry are bin-weighted averages of cleaned soundings as determined from the Cube modelling and filtering; sounding point-cloud data will be provided a later stage or upon request

Generally, spatial positioning of MB points is better than 0.1 m (XYZ) at nadir (vessel centre line from POS MV data) with positioning of features mapped by outer beams (distant from vessel; relies on precise lever arm measures and calculations of patch test offsets) better than 0.25m (XYZ) - see Total Propagated Uncertainty in Survey Report and/or rigor statement.

Generally, external positional accuracy is XYZ better than 0.2 m (2011-2017; Geoswath surveys using POS DGPS and PPP post processing for improved SBET in POSPac) and better than 0.1 m (2017-present; R2Sonic surveys using POS G2 in real-time and SBS post processing for SBET).
