NCCOS Mapping: Geospatial products of water depth, acoustic backscatter, and ROV data collected from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster in the US Caribbean off the coast of St. Thomas, USVI from 2023-05-01 to 2023-05-10 (NCEI Accession 0303335)

Description

Multibeam and acoustic backscatter data collected from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster from 2023-05-01 to 2023-05-10. The majority of these data were collected using a Kongsberg EM2040. Bathymetry grids were created using Qimera, and corrected to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW). Backscatter mosaics were created using Fledermaus Geocoder Toolbox (FMGT). Data were acquired and processed to meet IHO Order 1 specifications. Survey depths vary from 33m to 58m. Processed data are available at 2m resolution. During the field mission, a Mohawk 18 Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), operated by the University of North Carolina Undersea Vehicles Program collected HD photo and ground validation video. Video data is not included with this dataset. HD photos and video data are not included with this dataset.
