2003 Reson 8101ER Multibeam Sonar Data from Cruise OES-03-07/AHI-03-07, Data Set Name Guam.

Description

Reson 8101ER multibeam Data were collected between 22-26 September 2003 (JD 265-269) aboard NOAA Survey Launch Acoustic Habitat Investigator (AHI) at Guam Island in the Territory of Guam in the Western Pacific during cruise OES-03-07/AHI-03-07. The AHI was deployed independently from the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette (OES) during the cruise. The multibeam data were logged into data set Guam and collected using SAIC ISS-2000 software in the Generic Sensor Format and processed using SABER editing software. Sound velocity corrections from a Seabird SBE19 CTD sensor and motion corrections from a POS-MV vertical reference were applied to the data in real time. Predicted tides were applied to the data in real time and observed tides from Guam tide gauge 1630000 were applied using SABER postprocessing software. Horizontal accuracy is 20m (no differential GPS correctors applied), vertical accuracy is depth dependent (~1% of water depth), WGS84 datum. These data are not to be used for navigation. Depths mapped range from ~10 - 300 m.
