Bathymetry

Data from bathymetry may be archived in different versions of processing:


 * 1) original data as produced by the swath sonar system in its proprietary format (a link to a software or a description for conversion to ASCII or standard format is recommended if the following versions are missing)
 * 2) one or more versions of processing steps
 * 3) processed and corrected but measured values in ASCII-format (latitude/longitude/depth value separated by blanks)
 * 4) processed digital elevation model in ASCII-format (latitude/longitude/depth value) or in UTM
 * 5) final maps in pdf-format and/or original grafic format

A meta description must be provided with each data set:
 * author(s)
 * title
 * type of sonar system
 * technical comment, e.g. describing the status of processing and possible errors
 * a scientific abstract (for final maps or data publications)
