These data provide coverage between 0 and 2000 meters. The backscatter dataset includes data collected using the Simrad EM3002d multibeam sonar. The sonar's frequency is 300 kHz. These metadata are for the 1 m grid cell size Simrad EM3002d multibeam backscatter data only. The GeoTIFFs and netCDF grids of backscatter imagery were created using data gathered from multibeam soundings for use as a planning and reference document. The data are also being used for benthic habitat mapping, for locating Essential Fish Habitat,and for studying geologic features of the area.

The NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai's survey sensors include a 30 kHz Simrad EM300 sonar and a 300 kHz Simrad EM3002d sonar, which provide bathymetry and imagery data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320, which measures position, velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 9/11 plus CTD used to measure sound velocity profiles. Specific equipment configurations are documented in metadata from cruise HI0609. These metadata can be accessed at https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/cruise-catalog/. Entity and Attribute Overview: Sidescan data within a GSF file are arranged as small sequences of intensity values, one sequence per beam per ping. The intensity values represent the amplitude of echo returns to the sensor and can be related to seabed roughness.

Science Applications International Corporation's (SAIC) ISS-2000 acquires, processes and records data, provides survey control and underway quality control displays. SAIC's SABER processing software is used to process the raw soundings, analyze the results, manually edit the sounding data to remove outliers and derive average gridded data values. Additional data acquisition and processing information can be found in the metadata for cruises HI0609 Hawaii Mapping Research Group (HMRG) processing software was then used to extract values of acoustic intensity from the soundings. HMRG is an organization of scientists, engineers and technicians whose mission is to design, build, and operate tools for mapping the seafloor. HMRG is a group within the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The gsf2bs program (July,2005) converts the swath bathymetry ping records contained within a GSF (Generic Sensor Format) version 2.02 dataset into bs file format. This is done as follows: (i) position each beam's bottom detect intensity sample at the across-track location of that beam's bathymetry value; (ii) assuming a flat bottom in the near neighborhood of the beam, compute across-track distances for all of the beam's remaining intensity samples based on their temporal relation to the bottom detect sample and the computed average sound velocity for that beam as derived from its range and travel time; (iii) after all of the intensity samples from all beams of a ping have been located in across-track distance, fill the gaps between them as necessary by comparing travel times of beams adjacent to the gap, assigning the position using the adjacent sample closest to nadir, and averaging the interpolated values that fall within a cell. The conversion described above is necessary in order to run HMRG backscatter processing operations on the data, such as filtering to remove noise, and to create netCDF grids, raster images and GeoTIFF's.
