Dataset description: q5_13mbathy

Swath bathymetry 13-m-cell-size grid of quadrangle 5 on Stellwagen Bank offshore of Boston, Massachusetts collected by the U.S. Geological Survey aboard the CCGS Frederick G. Creed from 1994-1996. The purpose of this dataset is to release the 13-meter by 13-meter cell-size bathymetry grid that was used as the basis for analysis and the interpretation of quadrangle 5 of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary region.
