Bathymetry SwathPlus Bathymetric survey data were collected in February 2009 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
