Description:

Thanks to recent advances within hydrography, the current metadata requirements for the uncertainty values of Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) data within the Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) file format have been found to be inadequate and in need of refinement. This paper provides the background leading up to this need, a brief overview of the intention behind uncertainty values, and finally a revised version of MBES uncertainty requirements to support current and future products.
