CRED EM300 and EM3002D Multibeam Sonar Data from Cruise Hi'ialakai hi0804 - Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, 2008

EM300 and EM3002D multibeam Data were collected from 2 - 29 May 2008 aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai at Necker Island, French Frigate Shoals, and Brooks Bank in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, during cruise hi0804. These multibeam data were collected using SAIC ISS-2000 software in the Generic Sensor Format and processed using SABER editing software. Surface sound velocity values were supplied by a Seabird SBE-45 MicroTSG and a SBE-38 remote temperature probe. Sound velocity corrections from a Seabird SBE 9/11 plus CTD 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. Horizontal accuracy is 20 m (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 ~20-3000 m. Concurrent mapping at French Frigate Shoals was done by the R/V AHI in water depths ranging from ~10-350 m with the data set being ahi0804; (metadata for ahi0804 are submitted separately.)
