Abstract:
Reson 8101ER multibeam Data were collected in 10-13 Feb. and 18 Feb-13 Mar 2006 aboard NOAA Survey Launch Acoustic Habitat Investigator (AHI) in America Samoa at Swains Island, Tutuila and Rose Atoll during cruise AHI-06-02. These multibeam data were collected using SAIC ISS-2000 software in the Generic Sensor Format and processed using SABER software. Sound velocity corrections from a Seabird SBE19 CTD sensor and motion corrections from a POS-MV vertical reference were applied to the data in real time.

Predicted tides were applied to the data in real time: at Tutuila, Pago Pago (170000) predicted tides were used with no corrections; at Rose Atoll, Pago Pago tides were used with +0.1 hr time correction and a range ratio of 0.92; and at Swains Island, Pago Pago predicted tides were used with a -0.5 hr time correction and a 1.12 range ratio.

Horizontal accuracy is 20m (no differential GPS correctors applied), vertical accuracy is depth dependent (~1% of water depth), WGS84 datum. These data are not to be used for navigation. Depths mapped range from 1 - 300 m. The AHI was deployed from the NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai and concurrent mapping was done using Simrad EM300 and EM3002D sonars aboard the ship; metadata for HI-06-02 are submitted separately.

Purpose:
The data were collected in support of Coral Reef Conservation Program goals to map all shallow (0-30 m)coral reefs in US Pacific waters and priority moderate (> 30 m) depth areas by 2009. The data are being used to provide bathymetric and backscatter data for previously unmapped areas; in support of ecosystem management requirements for benthic habitat mapping and location of Essential Fish Habitat; and to study the geologic features of the area.
Supplemental_Information:
Data were collected aboard the R/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator), a 8 m (25') survey launch owned and operated by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center in Honolulu, HI. The R/V AHI's survey sensors include a 240 kHz RESON 8101-ER sonar which measures bathymetry and acoustic backscatter imagery, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320 which measures time, position, velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 19 CTD used to measure sound velocity profiles.

The AHI's equipment serial numbers, software versions and sensor configuration settings are as follows:

RESON 8101-ER multibeam echosounder Transducer serial #: 201004 Firmware, dry: 8101-2.07-2D4D Firmware, wet: 8101-1.06-2F6B

R/V AHI POS/MV Model 320, version 3 PCS serial #: 474 IMU serial #: 203 Controller software: v 2.1 and 2.21* PCS Firmware: 2.16

Seabird SBE19 CTD: Serial #: 3029

*The AHI's POS/MV was moved from the launch to the ship each day during part of this cruise. On the evening of Feb 17th (local time) the ship's POS/MV started continually rebooting. With assistance from Applanix we determined that the problem was isolated to the PCS, the rack-mounted controller box. We moved the PCS from the AHI to the ship and were able to continue to survey. Because the IMU was not moved no recalibration was required. The PCS was moved between the ship and the AHI daily for several days, allowing the ship to survey at night and the AHI to survey during the day. The major aspect of the move was that the power supply for the IMU is not compatible between the ship and the AHI and had to be changed out each time the unit was moved. The settings for each vessel's configuration were saved to disk and reloaded at the beginning of each session. This continued until Feb 24th when the ship's replacement unit arrived. Another problem that came to light near this same time was that some times the POS/MV would provide two different date stamps for the data, the time reported on the screen did not agree with the one reported out the Ethernet data stream. When this was noticed on Feb 26th new firmware (v 2.21) was loaded immediately and corrected the problem.

R/V AHI Lever Arm Distances and Alignment Offsets: The R/V AHI Reference Point (RP) is defined to be the intersection of the vessel's centerline, the cabin deck and the bulkhead immediately aft of the transducer. This is marked by a punch in the deck weld at that location. Positive X means the point is forward of the RP, positive Y means the point is to starboard of the RP, positive Z means the point is below the RP. The loaded waterline is defined as the intersection of the vessel's performance wing with the hull at the transom.
