List of data files
Bathymetry (Bathymetric survey data were collected in October 2009 just south of Dumbarton Bridge in south San Francisco Bay, California. Portions of the main channel and western shallows/intertidal mudflats were surveyed using an interferometric sidescan sonar system. The bathymetry is provided as a 1-m resolution raster in geoTIFF format, referenced to the vertical datum of mean lower low water (MLLW).)
