    • 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 Northwest Puerto Rico from 2022-03-14 to 2022-03-31 (NCEI Accession 0279008)

    Metadata Updated: January 1, 2026

    Multibeam and acoustic backscatter data collected from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster from 2022-03-14 to 2022-03-31. The majority of these data were collected using a Kongsberg EM710, with the most inshore portion 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 10m to over 1800m. EM710 data are available at 8m, 16m and 32m resolution. EM2040 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 and photo data are not included with this dataset.
