2021 NI 3D Coastal Survey - Pilot Bathymetric LiDAR Survey - LiDAR Point Cloud

A pilot bathymetric LiDAR survey was commissioned in 2021 which mapped the nearshore areas of Dundrum Bay and areas of Carlingford Lough.For the pilot bathymetric survey a Rapid Airborne Multi-bean Mapping System (RAMMS) operated at approximately 25000 range observations per second, while achieving 3-Secchi disk depth penetration. Where possible data was collected to depths of 10m, however, RAMMS is capable of capturing high resolution data to depths of three times the visual water clarity.
