Description

The bathymetric grids and derived contours are from data collected by the USGS with a multibeam (Simrad EM1000) sidescan sonar system in the southern Monterey Bay between Moss Landing and Monterey, California in 1995 (P1-95-MB, http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank). The data are provided as ArcInfo grids with 5-m resolution (MONT95NG, MONT95SG) and contours at 10-m intervals, and as shaded relief images (MNT95NSD.TIF, MNT95SSD.TIF) in the data/shaderel directory of this publication. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Project" http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/mbms>. The data were collected and analyzed between 1994 and 2000.
