Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2016 from Grand Bay Alabama/Mississippi: Unadjusted processed elevation point data (x,y,z)

Metadata Updated: January 16, 2026

A reconnaissance multibeam bathymetry survey was conducted by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) in Grand Bay Alabama/Mississippi (AL/MS) on May 12, 2016 as an assessment of the shallow water capabilities of the Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounder, and as an attempt to map the eroding marsh edges at locations of interest around the bay. This dataset, Grand_Bay_2016_MBB_Unadjusted_xyz.zip, includes the resulting [unadjusted] processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a half meter resolution surface. For this dataset, a static offset was not applied to vertically adjusted the data to match USGS bathymetry data previously acquired in 2015 (DeWitt and others, 2016).
