Abstract
This seabed atlas is based on 55 gigabytes (more than 16.5 billion soundings) of processed bathymetric data that were collected during 18 cruises between 2000 and 2002 as part of the INSS. Data acquisition was carried out using a deep-water mutibeam echosounder system (Kongsberg-Simrad EM120) and two mid-water multibeam echosounder systems (Kongsberg-Simrad EM1002) on-board of the research vessels RV Bligh and RV Siren. After initial on board hydrographic processing with a Kongsberg-Neptune™ system the data are now available as web-based downloads from http://www.infomar.ie/ as text-files containing latitude, longitude and water depth (XYZ) coordinates, as digital elevation models (DEM) and raster data sets. For all geographic data presented in this atlas, the spatial reference datum is WGS1984 (Fig. 2.1).
