CRED 20 m Gridded bathymetry of Kingman Reef, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Central Pacific (NetCDF Format)
raster digital data
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/data-by-location/pacific-remote-island-area/
Gridded (20 m cell size) bathymetry of the lagoon, shelf and slope
environments of Kingman Reef, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Central Pacific.
Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between
3 and 3500 meters. The bathymetry dataset includes Simrad EM300, EM3002D,
and Reson 8101ER multibeam data collected March 29 and April 4, 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.
