| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waverunners | --- | Navigation Single Beam | Digital elevation models (DEMs) of northern Monterey Bay, California, September 2017 (This part of the data release presents digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from bathymetry and topography data of northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September 2017. Bathymetry data were collected using two personal watercraft (PWCs), each equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. Topography data were collected on foot with GNSS receivers mounted on backpacks and with an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) using a GNSS receiver mounted at a measured height above the ground. Additional topography data were collected with a terrestrial lidar scanner. DEM surfaces were produced from all available elevation data using linear interpolation.) Nearshore bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California, September 2017 (This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September 2017 using two personal watercraft (PWCs). The PWCs were equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.) |
