Metadata details
casfair1_gis
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
Royal Australian Navy soundings of approaches to Casey Station. This fair sheet, HI 161 V5/500 6610/1 scale 1:10 000, was hand digitised to capture soundings as point data.
The data are not suitable for navigation.
Bathymetric contours derived from these and other soundings are available from the metadata record with ID caseybathy_gis.
Quality
All points shown on the fair sheet were captured. Data digitised from the RAN Fair sheet as points using Microstation. Centre of gravity of the text was regarded as point position. Points were assigned data quality indicator of 134. Data converted to shapefile. Planimetric accuracy estimated to be plus or minus 5 metres.
