Bathymetry

Survey products may use different units, datums or projections than the associated survey. Please consult product-specific metadata for additional details.
Variable Resolution Bathymetric Attributed Grid
H13578_MB_VR_Ellipsoid_1of1.bag	33.99MB	The Variable Resolution BAG format is a gridded, multi-dimensional, multi-resolution bathymetric data file (see Open Navigation Surface). Currently supported with open source GDAL. The BAGXYZ files are ascii representations of the BAG data in XYZ format, but do not include uncertainty.
