Bathymetry of the Main Pool of Lake Calumet, Cook County, Illinois, July 2023

Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

These data are single-beam bathymetry points compiled in comma separated values (CSV) file format, generated from a hydrographic survey of the northern portion of Lake Calumet in Cook County, Illinois. Hydrographic data were collected July 18-19, 2023, using a single-beam echosounder (SBES) integrated with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Surface water elevation data were collected July 18 utilizing a single-base real-time kinematic (RTK)/GNSS unit. Bathymetric data points were collected as the vessel traversed the northern portions of the lake along overlapping survey lines. The SBES internally collected and stored the depth data from the echosounder and the horizontal and vertical position data of the vessel from the GNSS in real time. Data processing required specialized computer software to export bathymetry data from the raw data files. A Python script was written to calculate the lakebed elevations and identify outliers in the dataset. These data are provided in comma separated values (CSV) format as LakeCalumet_SBES_20230718.csv. Data points are stored as a series of x (longitude), y (latitude), and z (elevation or depth) points along with variable length records specific to the data transects.
