Multibeam data were collected aboard the NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai, a 218' United States
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration research ship. The NOAA
Ship Hiialakai's survey sensors include a 30 kHz Simrad EM300 sonar
and a 300 kHz Simrad EM3002d sonar, which provide bathymetry and
imagery data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320, which measures position,
velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 9/11 plus CTD used to
measure sound velocity profiles.
Specific equipment configurations are documented in cruise metadata from the
following cruises: HI0501, HI0612. These metadata can be accessed at:
