It includes the following products: 1) ESRI .ASC files, 2) Text file containing X, Y, Z postprocessed bathymetry data, 3) Geotiff and JPEG images from of bathymetry, 4) GeoTiff and JPEG images of backscatter, 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 find the location of deep water reefs along the West Florida shelf, which represent important habitat for reef fish. The Gulf of Mexico Fisheries Management Council recognize the importance of this geological setting when they established the Madison-Swanson and Steamboat Lumps Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in 1999. Precisely georeferenced high-resolution mapping of bathymetry is a fundamental first step to study the area of the continetal shelf and the shelf-edge suspected to be critical habitats. 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 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 17.0 EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > BATHYMETRY/SEAFLOOR TOPOGRAPHY > BATHYMETRY theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 17.0 OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 20.8 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 > Madison-Swanson Reserve (29N085W0001) OCEAN BASIN > Atlantic Ocean > Gulf of Mexico > West Florida Shelf > Madison-Swanson Reserve (29N085W0001) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus EM3000 Fish habitats backscatter bathymetry deep-water reefs multibeam ocean floor topography theme Gulf of Mexico place R/V Suncoaster platform 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).
