CEAMARC-CASO 12kHz Bathymetry - data collected from voyage 3, 2007-2008 of the Aurora Australis
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Bathymetry data was collected using a Simrad EK60 echosounder.
Description
The sample data have been corrected for the relative locations of GPS antenna, transducers and waterline. A sound-speed value of 1500 m/s was applied when calculating depth.
The seafloor depth itself was defined firstly as the depth of the sounder-detected bottom minus 10m (contact Simrad for more information about their bottom-detection algorithm), and then modified manually where necessary to ensure that the line followed the seafloor as perceived by eye from the echogram. This is therefore a subjective process, and the true seafloor depth may vary from the perceived depth by several hundred metres in the worst cases.

The greatest uncertainties are typically at greater depths, e.g. greater than 1000 m. This seafloor depth line therefore refers to the approximate depth (not range from transducer) of the seafloor less 10 m, i.e. 10 m should be added to the 'depth' values in the *.CSV file to give the 'true' seafloor depth. Depths greater than 5000 m are not available due to the 12 kHz data not being logged any deeper than this.
These data are preliminary and subject to change. Bathymetry data was exported during the voyage by Belinda Ronai. Post voyage enquiries however should be directed to Toby Jarvis.
