Collection of bathymetric quality-assurance data in September 2018 at Sugar Creek Lake near Moberly, Missouri, used a marine-based mobile mapping unit that operates with several components: a multibeam echosounder (MBES) unit, an inertial navigation system (INS), and a data acquisition computer. Bathymetric quality-assurance data were collected using the MBES unit at 4 transects oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal transects of the bathymetric survey data. The resulting bathymetric dataset was minimally processed using filters in the HYPACK/HYSWEEP software (http://www.hypack.com) to remove data spikes or erroneous points. The resulting bathymetric quality-assurance data set contained approximately 8.7 million...
Collection of bathymetric data in September 2018 at Sugar Creek Lake near Moberly, Missouri, used a marine-based mobile mapping unit that operates with several components: a multibeam echosounder (MBES) unit, an inertial navigation system (INS), and a data acquisition computer. Bathymetric data was collected using the MBES unit in longitudinal transects to provide complete coverage of the lake. The MBES was tilted in some areas to improve data collection along the shoreline, in coves, and in areas that are shallower than 2.5 meters deep (the practical limit of reasonable and safe data collection with the MBES). The resulting bathymetric dataset was processed using filters in the HYPACK/HYSWEEP software (http://www.hypack.com)...
