Title

HABMAP Multi-beam Survey Coverage Areas

Alternative title(s)

Geoswath Survey Coverage Areas, HABMAP

Abstract

Areas of fine-scale Bathymetric and relative acoustic Backscatter data produced using a mounted Geoswath 125KHZ Interferometric sidescan sonar system, by the HABMAP program. Data is collected using a pole mounting and are tide, sound velocity and motion corrected and are accurate to the sub-metre level (DGPS/POSMV). The HABMAP program, which was initiated to provide fine scale benthic habitat information for NSW State Waters, initiated surveys to provide a minimum of 5 x 5m bin scale bathymetric and backscatter layers for use in GIS applications. Mutlibeam data for each of the Survey Coverage Areas is downloadable from the Australian Oceanographic Data Network - https://portal.aodn.org.au/.

Lineage

The dataset is updated with regular frequency to include newly surveyed areas. It has been updating since 2005 when the intial surveys were undertaken. The bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data that was collected within the coverage areas within this dataset are available thorugh verious channels (AODN website and IAR register - Register ID is TBC) Multibeam data for each of the Survey Coverage Areas is downloadable from the Australian Oceanographic Data Network - https://portal.aodn.org.au/.

DQ Completeness Commission

Effective date

Explanation

Additional Data Areas do not exist in the dataset

DQ Completeness Omission

Effective date

2017-05-23

Explanation

At the time of metadata revision, this dataset highlights all areas of fine-scale bathymetric and relative acoustic backscatter data acquired by OEH for the HABMAP program, in and around NSW Coastal and State Waters.

DQ Conceptual Consistency

Effective date

2017-05-23

Explanation

As the dataset reflects geographical Areas that are either inside or outside the data layer, conceptual consistency is complete.

DQ Topological Consistency

Effective date

2017-05-23

Explanation

Topological consistency and correct feature geometry have been positively assessed using the ArcGIS for Desktop - Repair Geometry functionality to ensure adequacy.

DQ Absolute External Positional Accuracy

Effective date

2017-05-23

Explanation

Survey data acquired before January 2010 (POSMV Wavemaster installation) have a horizontal precision equivalent to that of the DGPS positional equipment used at the time of the survey that is generally better than 5m. After the addition of the POSMV Wavemaster, horizontal precision was increased to be better than +/- 0.1 m

DQ Non Quantitative Attribute Correctness

Effective date

2017-05-23

Explanation

As survey absence or presence is detailed the attribute accuracy is assessed at 100%
