Abstract:
A 40-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Swains Island in American Samoa compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 7 and 4800 m. Data collected by the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) in support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. Not to be used for navigational purposes. For the related dataset containing numeric bathymetry values for this image layer, see http://pacioos.org/metadata/pibhmc_bathy_40m_swains.html
Purpose: PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
