  Description:
    Abstract:
      cbeam83.shp is a shapefile made from the NOS bathymetric
      soundings created from the SeaBeam imaging device, with
      sampling rates from 10 to 30 seconds along the track. The
      original data sets in this shapefile were pulled from the
      NOS GEODAS database cdrom. A
      listing of the NOS reference numbers includes:
      HYD9303022076, HYD9303022077, HYD9303022078, HYD9303022079,
      HYD9303022081, HYD9303022082, HYD9303022083, HYD9303022084,
      HYD9303022085, HYD9303022086, HYD9303022087, HYD9303022088,
      HYD9303022089, HYD9303022090, HYD9303022091, HYD9303022092,
      HYD9303022093, HYD9303022094, HYD9303022095, HYD9303032059,
      HYD9303032060, HYD9303032061, HYD9303032062
      Horizontal position determined by GPS in some cases, by
      loranC in others.

      SEABEAM GENERAL INSTRUMENTS 16 Beams 12 KHZ

      NOS Pacific Hydro Section - standard SEABEAM processing. 
      This data is a subset of SEABEAM file. 5
      Beams of actual data were extracted from each return.
      Sampling rate varies from 10 to 30 seconds along track. 
      The projection is geographic, the units are decimal degrees,
      the soundings are in meters, and the horizontal positioning
      accuracy is variable, but assumed to be within 20 meters
      for GPS and within 50 meters for LoranC.
    Purpose:
    Supplemental_Information:
      Source seabeam83.txt contains a concatenated set of data
      from the SeaBeam imaging side-scanning sonar that were
      collected after 1984 in meters and referenced to the NAD 83
      datum. Horizontal position accuracy is unknown for all data
      sets, but presumably better for this set than earlier ones.
