Description

Abstract:

The SA_GRAV_GS datasets were derived from the Australian National Gravity Database 0.5 Minute Onshore Gravity Grid, Geoscience Australia, 2008 by Tania Dhu on 2011-04-07. Gradient strings for upward continuation levels of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 7500, 10000, 15000, 20000 and 25000 m were created using the Intrepid Multi-Scale Edge Detection Wizard.

Attributes

Point attributes

Field name Field alias Attribute field description
AERODROME_ AERODROME_ Name of aerodrome/airstrip in uppercase
AERODROME1 AERODROME NAME Name of aerodrome/airstrip in sentence case
CATEGORY CATEGORY Indicates Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) classification. Certified means that the aerodrome can accept regular air services by aircraft with more than 30 seats, provided the aerodrome meets CASA standards for the aircraft type. Registered refers to aerodromes that are not certified but have published approach procedures. Registered aerodromes usually cater for air charter operations by aircraft with 30 seats or less. ALA (Aeroplane Landing Areas) refers to aerodromes suitable for light aircraft operations (aircraft with Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW) less than 5,700 kg).
NO_RUNWAYS NO. RUNWAYS Number of runways
LIGHT_TYPE LIGHT TYPE Lighting type. This can be mains, generator or solar powered. Solar powered lighting is usually only suitable for Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) emergency night operations.
STATUS STATUS Status of aerodrome/airstrip e.g. existing or abandoned
RUNWAY_SU RUNWAY SURFACE Brief runway surface description where available e.g. sealed, gravel, compacted

Notes

The data is the property of the Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (DTEI). The data is to be used as a guide only and should not be relied upon for navigation and aircraft operations. Much of the data is not updated on a regular basis and should be verified through contact with the aerodrome owner/operator, on site inspections and other means.

Data quality

Lineage:

Source Data History: PIRSA receives seismic line location data from exploration companies as part of their statutory reporting requirements, from Government and Academic institutions and information collected by Office of Minerals and Energy Resources and its predecessors. Data is received digitally in ASCII code and UKOOA format. The data files contain surveyed and/or interpolated seismic shotpoints which define the position of the seismic line. Shotpoint locations from some of the earliest surveys recorded during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s were not available digitally and were digitised from best available maps. Prior to 1966, the spheroid in general use was Clarke 1858. Many of the surveys from this period were digitised from existing maps and were not converted to the datum currently in use, GDA94, and may therefore be in error by up to 200 metres.

Processing Steps: Data received in digital form were checked and corrected as necessary before being committed to the database. The original shotpoint data were processed to filter out and reduce the number of points so that only those points required to define near-straight line segments are retained in the database.

Positional accuracy:

The accuracy of the surveyed data is dependant on the survey techniques used to acquire the data and the quality of the horizontal and vertical control to which the seismic shotpoints were connected. The relative accuracy between points, rather than absolute accuracy, is the main criteria in seismic surveying methodology. The absolute accuracy is defined to be within the minimum specifications of (2.5*sqrt(kilometres length of line)) metres for horizontal accuracy and (10*sqrt(kilometres length of line)) centimetres for vertical accuracy. Generally, this accuracy is a factor of 5 times better than the minimum survey specifications. The relative accuracy between points is generally better than a couple of centimetres. The data is stored in the database to 1m precision. The original data is archived in its native format including the original precision which may be quoted to two decimal places.

Attribute accuracy:

The seismic line and survey attributes are derived from operational survey reports. Validation checks are performed periodically, resulting in an estimated 95% accuracy. These checks include comparisons between reports from the spatial dataset and other supporting data.

Logical consistency:

Highly consistent internally with the exception of a small number (< 5%) of lines which are duplicated and/or have been incorrectly labelled. The majority of these are pre-1970’s lines which were digitised.

Completeness:

95% complete. Receipt of data is generally 3-6 months after a survey is completed.
