2004 Reson 8101ER Multibeam Sonar Data from Cruise AHI0402 collected around Tutuila, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u Islands, Territory of American Samoa.

Metadata Updated: October 19, 2024

Abstract Reson 8101ER multibeam Data were collected from 30 January and March 12, 2004, aboard NOAA Survey Launch Acoustic Habitat Investigator (AHI) at Tutuila, Ofu, Olosega, and Ta'u Islands in the Territory of American Samoa during cruise AHI0402. The data were logged into datasets titled Manua and Tutuila. These multibeam data were collected using SAIC ISS-2000 software in the Generic Sensor Format and processed using SABER editing software. Sound velocity corrections from a Seabird SBE19 CTD sensor and motion corrections from a POS-MV vertical reference were applied to the data in real time. Predicted tides were applied to the data in real time. Horizontal accuracy is 20m (no differential GPS correctors applied), vertical accuracy is depth dependent (~1% of water depth), WGS84 datum. These data are not to be used for navigation. Depths mapped range from 10 - 300 m. The AHI was deployed from the NOAA Ship Oscar E. Sette and surveyed independently during ship operations in other locations in American Samoa. The multibeam bathymetric data in generic sensor format from AHI0402 were submitted to NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) in Boulder, CO, for distribution in 2005.
