Physical Description
These data are ASCII Grid (*.asc) format. Resolution is 2 Meters.
Projection: WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_10N, Units Meters
Vertical Datum: MLLW, Units Meters
Hydrographic survey data was collected using multibeam echosounders on NOAA ship RAINIER survey launches during the month of October from 2001-2004. Data were cleaned of anomolies and exported to xy-z data format and gridded at 2m resolution in Fledermaus. Data were then converted to ESRI grid format.
Horizontal Accuracy:
The data meet NOAA NOS hydrographic specifications which can be found at http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/hsd/specs/specs.htm. NOS specification for hydrographic positioning is that the toal error in position of soundings, dangers, and all other significant features, at the 95 percent confidence level, will not exceed 5 meters +5 percent of the depth. This accuracy requirement is independent of survey scale.
Vertical Accuracy:
See NOS hydrographic stanards http://chartmaker.ncd.noaa.gov/hsd/specs/CHAPTER5.htm.
