This resource includes bathymetry data acquired during the Raine Island bathymetry survey using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 multibeam sonar systems. The Raine Island bathymetry survey (FK210321/GA4873); also known as Brisbane to Darwin transit survey; was led by James Cook University aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor from the 21st of March to the 4th of April 2021. The primary objective of the expedition was to transit from Brisbane to Darwin. Another objective was to map underwater landscapes in the north of the Coral Sea around Raine Island and the Pandora Entrance. This V1 dataset contains twelve 2m to 64m resolution 32-bit floating point geotiff files of the new Raine Island bathymetry, derived from the processed EM302 and EM710 bathymetry data, using CARIS HIPS and SIPS software. This dataset is not to be used for navigational purposes. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.
