Multibeam Bathymetry Data Collected in 2018 Offshore of Cedar Key, Florida

An Ellipsoidally Referenced Survey (ERS) using two Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounders, in dual-head configuration, was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) offshore of Cedar Key, Florida (FL) during two legs, November 27-30, and December 10-13, 2018. This dataset, Cedar_Key_MBB_2018_xyz.zip, includes the processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid.
