Abstract:
5-m grid of bathymetric data of Kohala coast of Hawaii, Main Hawaiian Islands, USA.
The ASCII grids include multibeam bathymetry from the Reson 8101 multibeam sonar collected
by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) survey launch Acoustic Habitat
Investigator (AHI) in 2012 of Kohala coast of Hawaii by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Division
in depths between 0 And 157.4 meters. The 5-m grid also contains synthesis bathymetric data
maintained by University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) Hawaii Mapping Research Group (HMRG).
Purpose:
The ASCII grid was created using data gathered from multibeam depth measurements 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:
Multibeam data were collected aboard the R/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator),
a 25' survey launch owned and operated by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science
Center in Honolulu, HI. The R/V AHI's survey sensors include a 240 kHz RESON 8101-ER
sonar providing bathymetry and imagery data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320 which
measures position, velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 19 CTD used to
measure sound velocity profiles. These metadata can be accessed at:

The synthesis gridded bathymetric data were maintained and metadata for these can be found at
http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/HMRG/multibeam/index.php.
