Description:
Abstract:
Gridded bathymetry of the shelf and slope environments of
Necker Island, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, Hawaii, USA. This ASCII
includes multibeam bathymetry from the Simrad EM1002 and Simrad EM120 multibeam
sonars collected as of October 2006 by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Division
in depths between 20 and 1500 meters. The ASCII grid also includes estimated
depths derived from high resolution IKONOS satellite imagery by the
NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/CCMA Remote Sensing Team in shallow water between 0 and 16 meters.
Purpose:
The ASCII was created using data gathered from multibeam soundings and IKONOS
estimated depths for use as a planning and reference document. The data are also
being used for benthic habitat mapping, for locating Essential Fish Habitat, and
for studying geologic features of the area. Refer to supplemental information for description of instrument and survey.
Supplemental_Information:
Data were collected aboard the R/V Kilo Moana, a 186' United States Navy owned
research vessel. The R/V Kilo Moana's survey sensors include a 12 kHz Simrad EM120
sonar and a 95 kHz Simrad EM1002 sonar, which provide bathymetry and imagery data,
a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320, which measures position, velocity, attitude and
heading, and a Sippican MK-21/PC based XBT system plus a Seabird SBE 9/11 CTD both
of which measured sound velocity profiles.
IKONOS estimated depths were produced using rule-based, semi-automated image analysis
of high-resolution satellite imagery for nine locations in the Northwestern Hawaiian
Islands. For more information about the estimated depth data see the following online

Specific equipment configurations are documented in metadata from IKONOS Estimated
Depths and cruises KM0206. These metadata can be accessed at:
