Description
Royal Australian Navy soundings of approaches to Mawson, hand digitised from HI 99 V5/425 6762/1 (sheet A) scale 1:10 000.
The data are not suitable for navigation.
Bathymetric contours derived from these and other soundings are available from the metadata record with ID mawsonbathy_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 129. Data converted to shapefile. Planimetric accuracy estimated to be plus or minus 5 metres.
