Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry and Backscatter Data Collected in August 2024 From Breton Island, Louisiana
An Ellipsoidally Referenced Survey (ERS) using two Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounders, in dual-head configuration, was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) covering the nearshore, Gulf side of Breton Island, Louisiana (LA), from August 6-9, 2024. This dataset, Breton_2024_MBES_xyz.zip, includes the processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid. The download file, Breton_2024_MBES_Backscatter.zip, includes acoustic backscatter intensity data in 32-bit floating point GeoTIFF (Geographic Tagged Image File Format, .tif) format.
