Suggested data citation: Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC). 2006. NOAA/PIBHMC 40-m Bathymetry: USMOI: Howland Island. Distributed by the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS). http://pacioos.org/metadata/pibhmc_bathy_40m_howland.html. Accessed [date].

Abstract:

A 40-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Howland Island in the Central Pacific Ocean, a U.S. Minor Outlying Island (USMOI). Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 8 and 3800 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 a grayscale hillshade image layer of this dataset, see "hbi_pibhmc_how_bathy40m_hillshade" in the distribution links listed in the metadata. For further details about this dataset, please see: https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/data-by-location/pacific-remote-island-area/howland-island/howland-island-bathymetry/.

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.

Credit:

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST).
