Coastal Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in August 2019 from Cedar Island, Virginia

Metadata Updated: October 30, 2025

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, seaward of Cedar Island, Virginia, from August 14-21, 2019. This dataset, Cedar_ Island_2019_MBES_xyz.zip, includes the processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid. Additionally, the dataset Cedar_Island_2019_MBES_Backscatter.zip includes the acoustic backscatter intensity data in 32-bit float GeoTIFF (.tif) format.
