Metadata details

davfair3_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 Davis Station. This fair sheet, HI 120 SUP 1 V5/480-6877/7 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 davisbathy_gis.

    Quality

    All points shown on Fair sheet were captured Data digitised from 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 137. Data converted to shapefile. Planimetric accuracy estimated to be plus or minus 2.9 metres.
