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 HI560 at Casey, December 2014 to February 2015. The survey was conducted jointly with Geoscience Australia.
The survey area was offshore from Clark Peninsula south to Beall Island, but not including Newcomb Bay and O'Brien Bay which were surveyed in 2013/14 (see the metadata record with ID HI545_hydrographic_survey). A multibeam sonar system was used.
The survey dataset, which includes the Report of Survey, was provided to the Australian Antarctic Data Centre by the Australian Hydrographic Office.
The RAN Australian Hydrographic Service team was lead by LCDR G.A.Walker.

The data are not suitable for navigation.

Purpose

The purpose of the survey was to improve charting of the survey area for navigation (RAN Australian Hydrographic Service) and data collection for scientific research (Geoscience Australia).

Access

This dataset is not available for download due to size (110 GB). A copy of the dataset may be requested by contacting the Australian Antarctic Data Centre - see a Related URL.
