- Abstract:
-
This GIS data set represents one foot lake bathymetry contours for selected lakes in Florida. These data were compiled from data created between 2005 and 2011
- Purpose:
-
This information is intended for general cartographic purposes only. Not for navigation.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
The data were collected using a GPS data logger with customized species fields. Data were then imported from the data logger into GIS software for QA/QC and data processing.
The Data from the Hydroacoustic software was exported as a csv file along with the latitude and longitude. Data was then converted to UTM Nad 83 and imported as a feature dataset. Various models where then calculated from this dataset. Upon completion the data was converted to FDEP Albers HARN prior to delivery.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
FWRI assessed the data for consistency of projection, contour units, and contour intervals. In some cases, FWRI recreated the contours to ensure consistency. Contours were created at one foot intervals from the grid raster or TIN files using the "Contour" or "Surface Contour" tools in ArcGIS 10.
