It includes the following products: 1) Text file containing X, Y, Z postprocessed bathymetry data, 2) Text file containing X, Y, I (Intensity) postprocessed backscatter data, 3) Geotiff and JPEG images of bathymetry, 4) GeoTiff and JPEG images of backscatter, and 5) Fledermaus files of the survey locations. All products are available contacting the distributor. Some data sets are also posted on NOAA's Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) at www.coris.noaa.gov. Another product that will not be distributed, but will be used as input to habitat classification software (QTC MultiView), are raw data files logged to disk using the Simrad EM3000 multibeam system data acquisition software. These raw files contain packets of information (depth soundings, navigation, attitude, sound velocity profiles, UTC time) that the acquisition software logged sequentially in time. The raw data format is available from Kongsberg-Simrad. The multibeam system was provided by University of South Florida, College of Marine Science and the support vessel was the Florida Institute of Oceanography R/V Suncoaster. The primary objective of this mapping expedition is to gather data on the location of coral formations present in the Pulley Ridge Area, which lies off southwest Florida and is the deepest hermatypic coral reef in the continental US. This area also hosts productive fisheries for shrimp and reef fish. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council is concerned about certain fishing activities ocurring in the area, such as bottom long-lines and trawling, which maybe damaging the corals. For this reason, the GMFMC has designated Pulley Ridge as a Habitat Area of Particular Concern (HAPC). Further protections are likely to be approved, but the GMFMC requires more data on the nature and extent of coral formations to make a more informed decision. Continued multibeam mapping is a very cost effective way of gathering this information and preventing damage to this valuable area. completed David, Andrew 850-234-6541 x208 850-235-3559 3500 Delwood Beach Road Panama City FL 32408 andy.david@noaa.gov pointOfContact David, Andrew 850-234-6541 x208 850-235-3559 3500 Delwood Beach Road Panama City FL 32408 andy.david@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Geographic Information > Bathymetry theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Backscatter EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > Florida OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of Mexico > Florida place CoRIS Place Thesaurus Florida place CoRIS Region Florida Florida Shelf Gulf of Mexico North America Pulley Ridge United States place General EM3000 Fish habitats backscatter bathymetry deep-water reefs multibeam ocean floor topography theme DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

The bathymetry data were collected along a continuous swath perpendicular to the direction of the ship using a Kongsberg Simrad EM3000 (300 kHz) multibeam sonar system. The data are cleaned of bad navigation and depth soundings. The depth soundings are gridded into a common grid. The gridded data are converted to an XYZ ASCII format file (Longitude, Latitude, Depth in Meters). 2007-02-25T00:00:00
