Abstract:
Gridded bathymetry (5m) of the bank environment of Galvez Bank, and 2 small nearby banks
S. Galvez Bank (~ 3 nmi south of Galvez) and 11-mile Reef (~ 5 nmi north of Galvez, 11 nmi west of Guam),
Territory of Guam, USA. These netCDF and ASCII grids includes multibeam bathymetry from the
Reson 8101 multibeam sonar aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar E. Sette collected as of May 2010 by the NOAA Coral
Reef Ecosystem Division in depths between 10 and 300 meters.
Purpose:
These netCDF and ASCII grids were created using data gathered from multibeam soundings for use as a
planning and reference document. The data are also being used for benthic habitat
mapping, for locating Essential Fish Habitat, and for studying geologic features of
the area. Refer to supplemental information for description of instrument and survey.
Supplemental_Information:
Multibeam data were collected aboard the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette, a 224' (68 m) United States
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration research ship. The NOAA Ship
Sette's survey sensors included a 240-kHz pole-mounted Reson 8101ER sonar, which provides
bathymetry and imagery data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320, which measures position,velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE19 CTD used to measure sound velocity profiles.
