Data Acquired

Survey EquipmentSurvey InfoData Type(s)Data Collected
POS MV --- Navigation
SWATH plus-M --- Interferometric
Footprints and producers of source data used to create northern portion of the high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) (Polygon shapefile showing the footprint boundaries, source agency origins, and resolutions of compiled bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) used to construct a continuous, high-resolution DEM of the northern portion of San Francisco Bay.)
Digital elevation model (DEM) created using bathymetry data collected between 1999 and 2016 (MLLW) (A 1-m resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the northern portion of San Francisco Bay, which includes San Pablo Bay, Carquinez Strait, and portions of Suisun Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 1999 to 2016. )
Digital elevation model (DEM) created using bathymetry data collected between 1999 and 2016 (NAVD88) (A 1-m resolution, continuous surface, bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) of the northern portion of San Francisco Bay, which includes San Pablo Bay, Carquinez Strait, and portions of Suisun Bay, was constructed from bathymetric surveys collected from 1999 to 2016.)
April 2015 bathymetry (MLLW) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California (1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in April 2015. Projection = UTM, zone 10 in meters, Horizontal Datum = NAD83 (CORS96), Vertical Datum = MLLW, all units in meters. The surveys extend east from Calaveras Point along Coyote Creek to the railroad bridge, along Alviso Slough to the town of Alviso (just over 7 km), and along the 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
April 2015 bathymetry (NAVD88) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California (1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in April 2015. Projection = UTM, zone 10 in meters, Horizontal Datum = NAD83 (CORS96), Vertical Datum = NAVD88, all units in meters. The surveys extend east from Calaveras Point along Coyote Creek to the railroad bridge, along Alviso Slough to the town of Alviso (just over 7 km), and along the 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
April 2015 bathymetry (WGS84) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California (1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in April 2015. Projection = UTM, zone 10 in meters, Horizontal Datum = WGS84(G1150), Elevations relative to the WGS84 Ellipsoid, all units in meters. The surveys extend east from Calaveras Point along Coyote Creek to the railroad bridge, along Alviso Slough to the town of Alviso (just over 7 km), and along the 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
