NOAA/PIBHMC 40-m Bathymetry: American Samoa: Vailuluu

A 40-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Vailuluu Seamount in American Samoa compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys. Vailuluu Seamount is an active submarine volcano located approximately 50 km to the east of Tau Island. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 583 and 3017 m. Data collected by the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) in support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. Not to be used for navigational purposes.
