|---|---|---|---|
| Trimble R7 GPS receiver | --- | Benchmarks LIDAR Navigation Profiles Transects | Topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California, March 2017 (This part of the data release presents topography data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in March 2017. 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.) |
| Waverunners | --- | Navigation Single Beam | Digital elevation models (DEMs) of northern Monterey Bay, California, March 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 March 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, March 2017 (This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from northern Monterey Bay, California collected in March 2017 using personal watercraft (PWC). The survey vessels were equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.) |
