Simrad EM-3000 is a 300 kHz system that fans out up to 121 beams at a 130 deg. angle, yielding swaths that are up to 4 times the water depth. The system can capture depths the 3-150 m range at survey speeds of 3-12 knots. With differential GPS, the system is capable of centimeter resolution with an accuracy of 10-15 cm. Grid size spacing may be 30 cm to 15 m for depths in the 3-150 m range. Xyz data from cleaned, tide-corrected soundings were gridded in MbSystem and then converted to an ArcInfo grid with ArcGMT. Grid spacing is 1-m, accuracy is ~24 m, coordinates decimal degrees, WGS84 datum. Differential corrections not applied. Purpose: This grid is a base layer for the purposes of visual overlay and comparison with other data sets in the Fagatele National Marine Sanctuary and subsequent spatial analyses Supplemental_Information: Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 20010510 Ending_Date: 20010520 Currentness_Reference: publication date Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: As needed Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -170.676 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -170.649 North_Bounding_Coordinate: -14.307 South_Bounding_Coordinate: -14.3274 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: bathymetry Theme_Keyword: echosounding Theme_Keyword: grid Theme_Keyword: multibeam Theme_Keyword: seafloor Theme_Keyword: base layer Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: SW Pacific Place_Keyword: Samoa Place_Keyword: American Samoa Place_Keyword: Tutuila Place_Keyword: island Place_Keyword: Pacific islands GIS Access_Constraints: none Use_Constraints: NOT for navigational purposes!!!

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION

Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Depth soundings have an accuracy of ~24 m (i.e., points fall within a circle of radius 24 m). Soundings have been "cleaned" with a 2nd standard deviation filter to flag outliers (i.e., points beyond the 2nd standard deviation in Simrad bin stat post processing were flagged or removed). Tidal corrections: NOAA, verified, downloaded tide data, preliminary pressure water level data (N1) data are in meters above MLLW datum from station 1770000, Pago Pago, AS. Data have not yet been corrected with differential GPS. Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Completeness_Report: 95% coverage of the harbor Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: 24 m Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Tidal corrections: NOAA, verified, downloaded tide data, preliminary pressure water level data (N1) data are in meters above MLLW datum from station 1770000, Pago Pago, AS.
