CRED 5 m Gridded bathymetry of Jarvis Island, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Central Pacific (Arc ASCII Format)
raster digital data
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/data-by-location/pacific-remote-island-area/
Gridded (5 m cell size) bathymetry of the shelf and slope environments
of Jarvis Island, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Central Pacific.
Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between
3 and 3600 meters (5 m grid includes data to 300 m). The bathymetry dataset includes
Simrad EM300, EM3002D, and Reson 8101ER multibeam data collected March 20-24,
2006.
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.
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-06-04 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file
HI0604_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-06-04 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file
AHI0604_MB_Metadata.txt.

Attribute Values
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.
