AHS_Surveys_Mawson_ITRF2000
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This consolidated dataset consists of Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) surveys HI621C, 5135 (Terrestrial), HI364, HI514, and HI607 converted to International Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000 (ITRF2000) horizontal datum with Z conversion values for multiple height datums. The data was provided to the AAD by Paul Digney of Jacobs consulting in February 2021.
Included survey datasets:
• HI621C_MAWSON_merged.shp
• HI621C_MAWSON_merged.shp
• Terrestrial_Data_5135
• HI364_HSDB_T0001_SD_100035029_op_soundings
• QC_HI 514 HDCS_FDD_appraised (Mawson Approches)
• HI607.Shp
All data are in horizontal datum ITRF2000 and have been combined into a single ESRI geodatabase feature class titled AHS_Surveys_Mawson_ITRF2000.
Attribute data shows quality information, conversion factors (shift in metres) for multiple datums and the MSL orthometric height:

Vertical uncertainty ranges from 0.05 to 0.64 m and horizontal uncertainty ranges from 0.05 to 1.0 m
See the attached document ‘Metadata_Record_Mawson Final REV2.xlsx’ for further details.
The dataset was updated in August, 2023 to add a csv version of the data.
Purpose
The AADC (Australian Antarctic Data Centre) is in the process of converting all internally held spatial datasets to the ITRF2000 horizontal datum.
Quality
Vertical uncertainty ranges from 0.05 to 0.64 m and horizontal uncertainty ranges from 0.05 to 1.0 m
