Title
MultiBeam Bathymetry (AfA151)
Notes
Flood and Coastal Risk Management - Incident Management.

Multibeam echo sounders, for Bathymetric survey, use sonar pulses to measure the distance between the survey vessel and the seabed. This instrument collects point data at a resolution of 25cm or better, depending on water depth, vessel speed and bed topography and produces a high resolution elevation of the underwater terrain.

The Environment Agency's Bathymetric survey Multibeam data archive includes point data from bathymetric surveys carried out by the Environment Agency for a range of applications and locations where surveys have been previously commissioned. Multibeam data is available at 25cm resolution and supplied as a digital image in ASCII or JPEG format. All data values are elevation, relative to Ordnance Survey Newlyn datum. This is a spatial dataset.
