Metadata details

holme_bay_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

    The Holme Bay geographical infromation system (GIS) dataset includes the following features: spot heights, geology (erratics only) contours with a 5m contour interval, ice, crevasse fields, hillocks, melt lakes, moraines, rock, snow, cliffs, drift tails, flowlines, glaciers, grounding lines, ridge lines, streams, penguins, masts, lakes and refuges. The data ranges from Low Tongue to Paterson Islands along the Mawson Coast.

    Data was captured in March 2001, photogrammetically from aerial photography.
    The aerial photography was captured in March - April 1996 from films ANTC1024, ANTC1025, ANTC1026, ANTC1029, ANTC1031, ANTC1032, ANTC1034

    Quality

    The value tests for the dataset included a test for spatial accuracy and data completeness, including line and polygon errors. The layers were also checked to ensure that they overlay and abut as appropriate. A test of valid features against the Australian Antarctic Spatial Data Model and a visual check against all hard copy material were also carried out. Planimetric accuracy = +/- 10m Vertical accuracy = +/- 10m
