Depth soundings from a single beam echo sounder collected around the nearshore areas of the U.S. Pacific Islands since March 2012

Description

This dataset contains singlebeam bathymetry data collected from NOAA small boats by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program since March 2, 2012 in the U.S. Pacific Islands Region, including the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas. Data was acquired with a transom-mounted AirMar P66 (prior to 2016) or an AirMar TM258 1 KW (2016 to present) single beam echosounder. The 2012-2015 data was processed using a custom NMEA python script, and the current data (since 2016) is processed using GPS Utility. Error analysis on the data from 2012-2017 was performed by comparing the singlebeam data to existing multibeam data where the two datasets overlapped.

0 Depth soundings collected around the nearshore areas of the U.S. Pacific Islands from 2012 to 2017 using a transom-mounted AirMar P66 single beam echosounder (2012 to 2015) or an AirMar TM258 1 KW single beam echosounder (2016-2017) deployed on NOAA small boats during Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program missions aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai. Archived with the NCEI Trackline Geophysical Data portal (search by survey/mission id). To access the data, click on the distribution link to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Trackline Geophysical Data website. Under “Marine Surveys” in table of contents on left side, uncheck “All Survey Types” and check “Single-Beam Bathymetry”. Click “Search Marine Surveys” button. Uncheck the “All” box for “Survey Ship”. Select “Hi’ialakai” in the list of Survey Ship options. Optionally you can also filter by date (year) by unchecking the “All Dates” box and entering your preferred “Min Year” and “Max Year” year. Data is currently available from 2012-2017 in the Pacific Islands Region. Survey IDs include HA1201, HA1305, HA1401, HA1501, HA1606, and HA1701. https://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/geophysics/
