The AHI was deployed independently from the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette (OEs). The multibeam data were logged into data set Saipan and 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 and observed tides from Guam tide gauge 1630000 with a time corrector of 18 minutes and a tide height multiplier of 0.94 were applied using SABER postprocessing software. 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 data were collected in support of Coral Reef Conservation Program goals to map all shallow (0-30 m)coral reefs in US Pacific waters and priority moderate (> 30 m) depth areas by 2009. The data are being used to provide bathymetric and backscatter data for previously unmapped areas; in support of ecosystem management requirements for benthic habitat mapping and location of Essential Fish Habitat; and to study the geologic features of the area.

The R/V AHI's survey sensors include a 240 kHz RESON 8101-ER sonar which measures bathymetry and acoustic backscatter imagery, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320 which measures time, position, velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 19 CTD used to measure sound velocity profiles.

This is marked by a punch in the deck weld at that location. Positive X means the point is forward of the RP, positive Y means the point is to starboard of the RP, positive Z means the point is below the RP.
