Abstract:

A detailed bathymetry survey was conducted from 2022-09-09 to 2022-10-14. The data were used to construct a numerical model to simulate the flow pattern and to examine the erosion and deposition pattern. The data can also be used to simulate water quality. 519,436 points are included with easting and northing coordinates (State Plane Florida West coordinate system) and elevation relative to NAVD88. A merged DEM may be downloaded from GRIIDC related dataset B1.x126.000:0002 (https://doi.org/10.7266/sja44fzv).

Purpose:

Basic background information for numerical modeling.

Data Parameters and Units:

Easting (State Plane Florida West, [m]), Northing (State Plane Florida West, [m]), Elevation (NAVD88, [m])

Methods:

Bathymetry data were collected by the University of South Florida using a precision echo sounder (Odem, narrow angle, single beam) synchronized with a RTK GPS (Trimble R8). The survey was managed using HYPACK ECHO. All the pieces of equipment were mounted on a shallow draft pontoon boat.

Instruments:

Odem echo sounder, RTK GPS (Trimble R8)

Error Analysis:

Equipment errors are specified by the instrument. The equipment specification for both the echo sounder and RTK GPS for the Hillsborough River conditions are within 2 cm. Based on the comparison of data points at the crossing of the cross sections and the along-river lines, the points are mostly within 5 cm.
