Data were collected aboard the NOAA Ship Hiialakai, a 218' United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
research ship. The NOAA Ship Hiialakai'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. Sensor
configuration for the Hi'ialakai for cruise HI-06-01 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file
HI0601_MB_Metadata.txt.
Data were also 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. Sensor
configuration for the AHI for cruise AHI-06-01 is documented in the cruise/multibeam metadata file AHI0601_MB_Metadata.txt.
