BathymetryA [USGS]--Offshore Aptos, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetry and shaded-relief maps of Offshore of Aptos map area, California. Bathymetry data are provided as two separate grids depending on mapping agency and processing method. The raster data files are included in "BathymetryA_USGS_OffshoreAptos.zip," which is accessible from http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7K35RQB.
The bathymetry and shaded-relief maps of Offshore Aptos, California, were generated from bathymetry data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Mapping was completed between 2006 and 2009 using a combination of a 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounder and a 234-kHz SEA SWATHplus bathymetric sidescan-sonar system. The mapping missions collected bathymetry data from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California’s State Waters. NOTE: The horizontal datum of this bathymetry data (NAD83) differs from the horizontal datum of other layers in this data release (WGS84).
