SandMap – Report of Survey for Sunshine Beach Profiles
Principle and process for rounding of soundings
Soundings were rounded to the nearest decimetre, rounding up when values were 0.05 or
greater.
Positioning of selected soundings
Soundings were positioned in their true location.
Digital format of final data
The data was supplied as a combination of soundings and GNSS pole shots along the profile
as ASCII files in MGA2020 horizontal datum and AHD height datum.
The method(s) used to derive the quality of the data and ability to
meet the depth tolerance as required in the standards
Check lines were run over the main lines. Processed swath sounding data was statistically
compared with these lines and corresponding data from crossing lines. The RMSE of the
differences of corresponding data was within 0.3 m at the 95% confidence level (where: RMSE
(95%) = 1.96 x RMSE (1 sigma)).
