Horizontal accuracy is 20 m (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 ~20-3000 m.
Concurrent mapping at Santa Rosa Reef, Guam Island, Rota Island, Tinian Island, and Saipan Island was done by the R/V AHI in water depths ranging from ~10-350m with the data set being AHI0702; (metadata for AHI0702 are submitted separately.)
The Hi'ialakai's equipment serial numbers, software versions and sensor configuration settings are as follows:

Hi'ialakai Lever Arm Distances and Alignment Offsets: The Hi'ialakai's Reference Point (RP) is a granite block situated 1.222 m starboard of the ship's centerline, 1.23 m above the ship's baseline/datum on the keel. The RP is located under the forward deck, in the ship's laundry room. The ship's sensors, the sonar systems and permanent benchmarks are measured with respect to the RP. 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 survey waterline is defined to be at the 15' draft mark on the vessel's starboard side.
During the 2006-2007 winter inport period the main mast was replaced. POS antenas were surveyed in and a patch test was performed in mid April.
