Bathymetry SWATH plus-M Bathymetric survey data were collected in October 2015 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). Amy Foxgrover
October 2015 bathymetry (MLLW) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California SWATH plus-M 1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in October 2015. 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 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.

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 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.

October 2015 bathymetry (WGS84) of Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough, South San Francisco Bay, California SWATH plus-M 1-m resolution bathymetry collected in Coyote Creek and Alviso Slough in October 2015. 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 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the San Francisco Bay, California.
