AHO Reference Surfaces Banks Strait 0.5m 2023 (20230009R)

Created 17/10/2025

Updated 17/10/2025

The Banks Strait Reference Surfaces bathymetry survey was acquired for the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) on 17 Dec 2021. This surface was created from a contracted national reference survey within Banks Strait to Cape Barren, TAS, collected for the purpose of calibrating multibeam echosounders. It was conducted for the Australian Hydrographic Office as part of the Hydroscheme Industry Partnership Program, acquired using Kongsberg EM 2040 MkII and Kongsberg EM 2040P, and processed using QPS Qimera. A grid in 0.5m resolution is provided for the surveyed site within this survey area in MSL, LAT and Ellipsoid vertical datum. The dataset was then exported as a 0.5m resolution, 32 bit floating point GeoTIFF grid of the survey area. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes.
