The primary objective was to map, collect, and identify deepwater corals, fishes, and miscellaneous invertebrates from the seamounts, with special attention to whether corals are most abundant at the crest of the seamount and whether they form important habitat for other species, such as benthic fishes, when the corals are particularly abundant. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0072308 Preview graphic PNG 0072308 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2011-04-27 publication BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - SENSOR FLUORESCENCE RELATIVE HUMIDITY SALINITY SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE SOUND VELOCITY WATER TEMPERATURE WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP barometer compass conductivity sensor CTD fluorometer GPS meteorological sensor salinometer sound velocimeter temperature sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS chemical meteorological navigational physical profile theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS DSV Alvin R/V Atlantis platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS University of Connecticut, Marine Research Laboratory dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS University of Connecticut, Marine Research Laboratory dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Office of Ocean Exploration and Research's Integrated Product Team (OER IPT) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Georges Bank North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. barometer barometer Barometers are instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure; two types include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. compass compass magnetic compass instrument used for geo-location, positioning and navigation conductivity sensor conductivity sensor OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current.
