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

The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service conducted hydrographic survey HI468 at Davis, January to March 2010. The survey was conducted jointly with Geoscience Australia and the Australian Antarctic Division. The main survey area was near Davis but additional survey lines were followed to Long Fjord to the north and to Crooked Fjord and the Sorsdal Glacier in the south.
The survey dataset, which includes the Report of Survey, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office and is available from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by request.
The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service team was lead by LCDR R.D.Bowden.

The data are not suitable for navigation.

Geoscience Australia produced bathymetric and backscatter gridded datasets from the survey data which are available via the metadata record 'Coastal seabed mapping survey, Vestfold Hills, Antarctica, February-March 2010' with Entry ID: Davis_multibeam_grids.

The Australian Antarctic Division produced two bathymetric maps from the survey data. See Related URLs in this metadata record.
