Description
An Ellipsoidally Referenced Survey (ERS) using two Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounders, in dual-head configuration, was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) nearshore Boca Chica Key, the Florida Keys, from November 8-13, 2022. This dataset, BocaChica_2022_MBES_xyz.zip, includes the processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid, and the dataset BocaChica_2022_MBES_Backscatter.zip includes the acoustic backscatter intensity data in 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF (Tag Image File Format, .tiff) format.
