Field Activity 2004-302-FA

Identifier 2004-302-FA
Purpose The primary use of the data collected for this project was for the development of boundary conditions in numerical hydrodynamic modeling for establishing MFL in Southwest Florida. Therefore, the shallow water sonar swath interferometric system was selected to be best suited for fulfilling project requirements.
Location Everglades National Park, FL
Summary Number of soundings: 9,643,359 in comma-delimited and Esri point shapefile formats.
Info derived Interferometric swath bathymetry (X,Y,Z) data. Products are ASCII text files of the sounding data and point shapefiles representing seafloor elevations.
Comments This dataset includes bathymetric data for the following rivers in southwest Florida: Broad, Chatham, Lopez, Harney, Huston, Little Shark (included in Shark River dataset), Shark, Turner and Tarpon Bay.
