Abstract:
Gridded multibeam bathymetry is integrated with bathymetry derived from multispectral IKONOS satellite data. Gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry were collected aboard the R/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator). Bathymetry values shallower than 25 m were derived from multispectral IKONOS satellite image by analyzing the relative attenuation of blue and green spectral radiance as a function of depth. A multiple linear regression analysis of linearized blue and green band spectral values against multibeam depths determined the variables of y-intercept, blue slope and green slope values. Variables were then used in multivariate slope intercept formula to derive depth. Variables were adjusted to improve the statistical accuracy and spatial coverage of the final derived bathymetry product. Digital image processing to derive depths conducted with the ENVI 4.5 software program while data editing and integration was performed using ArcGIS 9.3. This dataset is for the bank and lagoon environment of Rose Atoll, American Samoa, USA.
Purpose:
The data were derived in support of NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program goals. Goal 1 is to map all U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems. This data set specifically addresses Objective 1 and 4: to develop high-resolution benthic maps and to characterize priority deep water reefs and associated habitats. This integration of derived bathymetry data provides a GIS layer with expanded spatial coverage that may be used for benthic and essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of geologic features. By combining the dataset with other bathymetry, backscatter, derivatives, and in situ data, they collectively compose benthic habitat maps designed to be used to understand and predict shallow depth (0m to 150m) benthic habitats for organisms that inhabit coral reef ecosystems.

Process_Description:
Multiple tools in ENVI 4.5 were used to complete the following processing steps: Data conversion from digital number to radiance, correction for atmosphere and water surface reflection, linearization of spectral decay as function of depth, masking of non-applicable values, and bathymetric derivation using variables from multiple linear regression analysis. Multiple tools in ArcGIS 9.3 were used for dataset integration and to extract values for the multiple linear regression analysis and subsequent error analyses. The statistics program S-Plus was used for the multiple linear regression analysis to provide original variables for depth derivation. The multivariate slope intercept formula used to derive depth was Depth=Yint+(Mblue)(Xblue)+(Mgreen)(Xgreen). Fourteen derived products from the image rose_msi_rat_final (Rose351) were integrated to expand spatial coverage. This image was provided in TIFF format. The original MLR variables for Rose351 were Yint=13.2711, Mblue=1.8847, and Mgreen=11.2034. The product derived from these variables (Rose351_DB) was mosaiced with thirteen additional products derived using increasingly reduced Y-intercept values as follows: Yint=12.2711 (Rose351_DB1), Yint=11.2711 (Rose351_DB2), Yint=10.2711 (Rose351_DB3), Yint=9.2711 (Rose351_DB4), Yint=8.2711 (Rose351_DB5), Yint=7.2711 (Rose351_DB6), Yint=6.2711 (Rose351_DB7), Yint=5.2711 (Rose351_DB8), Yint=4.2711 (Rose351_DB9), Yint=3.2711 (Rose351_DB10), Yint=2.2711 (Rose351_DB11), Yint=1.2711 (Rose351_DB12), Yint=0.2711 (Rose351_DB13). This was done to increase coverage in shallow areas. A detailed description of these processing steps is available at: http://oregonstate.edu/~hogrefek/Cookbook/Cookbook_042108.pdf An error analysis of each derived bathymetry grid used is available from PIBHMC upon request.

This mosaiced derived bathymetry product (rose_dball2) was then integrated with the multibeam sonar data, with sonar data prioritized over derived data, to create the final product (rose_5m_dbmb), through the following steps.

Initially, grdmath, a Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) algorithm that combines multiple grids, was used to combine the mosaicked derived bathymetry product (rose_dball2) with the gridded multibeam bathymetry (rose_5m). The AND operator was used to prioritize use of the multibeam grid over the derived bathymetry grid, where the two overlapped. The resulting product was found to have a noticeable artifact in the form of a marked step in depth on the bank top, where the derived bathymetry and multibeam bathymetry grids met. To avoid this problem, the final product was created by integrating the mosaic derived bathymetry product (rose_dball2) with an extracted subset of the multibeam data that only covered the inner lagoon. First, Fledermaus 3D Editor was used to extract xyz values from the multibeam data to create a subset covering the inner lagoon (rose_lagoon.xyz). The GMT nearneighbor algorithm was used to create a netCDF grid from the lagoon multibeam data. Secondly, xyz points were extracted from the derived bathymetry product (rose_dball2) using the Sample tool, available in ESRI ArcToolbox. The GMT nearneighbor algorithm was used to create a nearneighbor grid from these data. The two nearneighbor grids (one from the lagoon multibeam bathymetry and one from the mosaiced derived bathymetry product) were combined using grdmath. The AND operator was used to prioritize use of the multibeam grid over the derived bathymetry grid, where the two overlapped. The resulting grid (ros_5m_dbmb.nn.grd) was then converted to ASCII format using LINUX/UNIX commands in combination with GMT. (rose_5m_dmbm.asc). GMT is an open source collection of tools for manipulating geographic data sets. Additional information about GMT can be found at: www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt
