Published by Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC), Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: February 02, 2026 | Last Modified: 2009-12-31T00:00:00.000+00:00
Backscatter imagery extracted from gridded bathymetry of Ni'ihau Island, Hawaii, USA. These data provide almost complete coverage between 0 and 100 meters. The backscatter dataset includes Simrad EM3002d, Simrad EM300 and Reson 8101 data. The sonars frequencies are 300 kHz,30kHz and 240 kHz respectively and are processed and gridded separately. Because of the similar sonar frequencies the data can be mosaicked nearly seamlessly using GIS software. This metadata is for the Reson 8101 backscatter data only.
