Field Activity 2023-304-FA

Identifier 2023-304-FA
Alternate names 23BIM01; 23BIM02
Purpose Resurveying the single-beam Echosounder Data (SBES) tracklines acquired under FAN 2022-306-FA specifically 22BIM01; 22BIM02. 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 the camera system.
Location St. Petersburg, Florida specifically Madeira Beach
Summary Single beam bathymetry profile lines (44 lines = 37 line-km), SVP (9)
Info derived Single beam bathymetry x,y,z data and a current digital elevation Model (DEM)
