Description:
  • Abstract:
    •         Gridded (5 m cell size) bathymetry of the shelf and slope environments
      of Baker Island, Pacific Remote Isand Areas, Central Pacific.
      Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between
      8 and 4700 meters (5 m grid includes data to 300 m). The bathymetry dataset
      includes Simrad EM300, EM3002D, and Reson 8101ER multibeam data collected
      on Jan. 30, 2006.
            
  • 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 NOAA Ship Hiialakai, a 218' United States
      National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration research ship. The NOAA
      Ship Hiialakai's survey sensors include a 300 kHz Simrad EM300 sonar
      and a 3000 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.  Sensor configuration for the Hi'ialakai
      for cruise HI-06-01 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file
      HI0601_MB_Metadata.txt.
      
      Data were also collected aboard the R/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator),
      a 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 providing bathymetry and imagery
      data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320 which measures position, velocity,
      attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 19 CTD used to measure sound
      velocity profiles.  Sensor configuration for the AHI for cruise
      AHI-06-01 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file
      AHI0601_MB_Metadata.txt.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Overview_Description:
  • Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
    Depth values are real values based on the average of the soundings that fell within the extracted grid cells. The number of soundings per grid cell range from >1000 soundings in shallow depths to as few as 20 soundings in deeper areas. A total error budget for this survey has not been developed. Therefore, the accuracy of depth measurements should be considered to be within 1 per cent of water depth.
