Data Acquired

Survey EquipmentSurvey InfoData Type(s)Data Collected
camera --- Photo
navigation --- Navigation
YSI Sound velocity CTD --- Sound Velocity
terrestrial lidar scanner --- LIDAR
Terrestrial lidar data from northern Monterey Bay, California, October 2016 (This part of the data release presents topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in October 2016 with a terrestrial lidar scanner.)
ATV --- Profiles
Transects
Topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California, September 2016 (This part of the data release presents topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September 2016. Topography data were collected on foot with survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks and with an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) using a GNSS receiver mounted at a measured height above the ground.)
200khz --- Single Beam
Digital elevation models (DEMs) of northern Monterey Bay, California, September and October 2016 (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 and October 2016. Bathymetry data were collected using a personal watercraft (PWC) and small boat, 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 using linear interpolation.)
Nearshore bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California, September 2016 (This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in September 2016 using a personal watercraft (PWC) and small boat. The survey vessels were equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.)
