Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Next-Generation Total Water Level and Coastal Change Forecast (GX.26.MN00.U0310.00)
Principal Investigator(s): Margaret Palmsten, David Thompson
Affiliate Investigator(s): Mark Buckley
Information Specialist(s): Nancy DeWitt
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Benchmarks, Sonar: Sound Velocity, Sonar: Single Beam, Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Resurveying the single-beam Echosounder Data (SBES) tracklines acquired under FAN 2025-304-FA. Bathymetry data will assist researchers with wave data interpretation on and benthic morphology of the seafloor on the approach to and within the view of the camera system.
