  Description:
    Abstract:
      This grid was derived ASCII xyzs made available from the
      Smith and Sandwell estimated bathymetry. The data were
      gridded in
      MbSystem and then converted to Arc format with ArcGMT.
      The grid resolution is 1 km.
    Purpose:
      The grid should provide a very rough idea of the regional
      bathymetry, supplemental to detailed multibeam surveys for
      the
      Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, American Samoa.
