Abstract: All available bathymetry and related information for Bear Lake were collected and hard copy maps digitized where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 'SRTM' imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary. The published data set contains the lake bathymetry formatted as an Arc ascii grid. Bathymetric contours and the boundary polygon are available as shapefiles.

Abstract:
All available bathymetry and related information for Bear Lake were collected and hard copy maps digitized
where necessary. The data were validated against more recent data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 'SRTM'
imagery and Indian Remote Sensing 'IRS' imagery) and corrected where necessary. The published data set
contains the lake bathymetry formatted as an Arc ascii grid. Bathymetric contours and the boundary polygon
are available as shapefiles.
Purpose:
This dataset was created to preserve historical data for Bear Lake and to make the data available in digital
form.

Alberta Environment and the Alberta Geological Survey for supporting the project; GISmo Solutions Ltd. for
creating the digital product from the hard copy maps and other data sources.

Description:
The bathymetry for Bear Lake was digitized. Depths in feet were converted to elevations in metres. The
original boundary for the lake was retained. The 'Reshape' feature of ArcMap was used to adjust
contours so as to fit inside the lake boundary. The water level of the lake was set to 661.8m (from
the Base Features data). This value was confirmed by data from the most recent data sources.

Description:
The lake bathymetry shapefile data tables supplied by the digitizing contractor contained a wide
variety of differently named attributes. In spring 2008, Alberta Geological Survey standardized
these data into two fields: CONTOUR and CALC_DEP_M (see Entity and Attribute section of this
metadata). At that time data were also checked and corrected and/or calculated as required.
