This survey achieved approximately 90% bottom coverage down to 200 meters. Purpose: This grid was created using data gathered from multibeam soundings for use as a planning and reference document. Refer to supplemental information for description of instrument and survey. Supplemental_Information: Data were collected aboard the R/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator), a 25' survey launch owned and operated by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center in Honolulu, HI. The R/V AHI's survey sensors include a 240 kHz RESON 8101-ER sonar providing bathymetry and imagery data, a TSS/Applanix POS/MV Model 320 which measures position, velocity, attitude and heading, and a Seabird SBE 19 CTD used to measure sound velocity profiles. Equipment serial numbers and software versions are as follows: RESON 8101-ER multibeam echosounder DOC inventory #: CD0000537418 Firmware, dry: 8101-2.07-2D4D Firmware, wet: 8101-1.06-2F6B POS/MV Model 320, version 3 DOC inventory #: CD0000476647 PCS serial #: 474 IMU serial #: 203 Controller software: v 1.0.5.0 Seabird SBE19 CTD: Serial #: 3029 R/V AHI Lever Arm Distances and Alignment Offsets The R/V AHI Reference Point (RP) is defined to be the intersection of the vessel's centerline, the cabin deck and the bulkhead immediately aft of the transducer. 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. The loaded waterline is defined as the intersection of the vessel's performance wing with the hull at the transom.

SAICós 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. GMT was then used to reformat the grid into final form. Interactive Visualization Systemós Fledermaus and ESRI ArcGIS were used for viewing results and creating browse objects. The data have been corrected for observed tides from Guam tide gauge 1630000 with a time corrector of 18 minutes and a tide height multiplier of 0.94 using SABER postprocessing software. The data were also recorrected for observed sound velocities in postprocessing.

Number of soundings per grid cell range from >1000 soundings in shallow depths to as few as 20 soundings in deeper areas. A total error budget for this survey has not been developed, therefore the accuracy of depth measurements should be considered to be within 1 meter.
