Site 05 Missouri River Bathymetry at Structure 435-105-11.97(235) on Interstate 435 in Kansas City, Missouri, July 2011
Description
These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) in ASCII XYZ format, generated from the July 16, 2011, hydrographic and velocimetric survey of the Missouri River near structure 435-105-11.97(235) on Interstate 435 in Kansas City, Missouri, during summer flooding on the Missouri River. Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time. Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.
