Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in May 2021 From Seven Mile Island, New Jersey
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) covering the nearshore extent of Seven Mile Island, New Jersey, from May 19-23, 2021. The download file, 7Mile_2021_MBES_xyz.zip, includes processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid. The download file, 7Mile_2021_MBES_Backscatter.zip, includes acoustic backscatter intensity data in 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF (Tagged Image File Format, .tif) format.
