environmental data compiled from primary and secondary data sources, and derived information describing and predicting benthic habitats around Madeline Island and Gull Island Shoal, Lake Superior. This collection provides geospatial information to identify and characterize benthic habitats around Madeline Island and Gull Island Shoal, Lake Superior. This collection was developed by the Collaborative Benthic Habitat Mapping in the Nearshore Waters of the Great Lakes Basin project, and was funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative. The project is a collaboration between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Park Service, the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and partners such as Michigan Technological University and CVision AI, Inc. The project provides geospatial information that supports management decisions intended to address multiple littoral issues including increases in coastal erosion and sedimentation, degradation of native fish habitat, coastal development, water quality changes, harmful algal blooms, and species invasions.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) High-resolution acoustic instruments to study rapid 3D velocity fluctuations ADVs have three or more focused beams to measure with high sampling rates in a small point. They work by sending out a short acoustic pulse from the transmit element. When the pulse travels through the focus point for the receiver beams, the echo is recorded in each of the acoustic receiver elements. The echo is then processed to find the Doppler shift, the scaling is adjusted with the measured speed of sound in the liquid (hence the temperature measurement), and the velocity vector is recorded or transmitted to a PC at a rapid rate. http://www.nortek-as.com/en/products/velocimeters camera camera An instrument for recording images. sonar sonar sound/sonic navigation and ranging Sonar (sound navigation and ranging or sonic navigation and ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, measure distances (ranging), communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels. Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.
