POS MV --- Navigation

Bathymetry (Bathymetric survey data were collected in March 2019 just south of Dumbarton Bridge in south San Francisco Bay, California. The bathymetry is provided as a 1-m resolution raster in geoTIFF format, referenced to the vertical datum of mean lower low water (MLLW).)
April 2019 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 2019. 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 9.8 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
April 2019 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 2019. 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 9.8 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
April 2019 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 2019. 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 9.8 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.)
