Nereus dive geo-referenced megafaunal transect data from the Kermadec Trench during cruise TN309 on R/V Thompson, May 2014 (NCEI Accession 0278245)

Graphic not available.

This dataset contains physical data collected on R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN309 from 2014-04-14 to 2014-05-05. These data include Speed over ground, course over ground, depth, and water temperature. The instruments used to collect these data include Camera and HROV Nereus. These data were collected by Dr Jeffrey C. Drazen of University of Hawaii at Mānoa, Dr Paul Yancey of Whitman College, and Dr Timothy M. Shank of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the "Controls on Hadal Megafaunal Community Structure: a Systematic Examination of Pressure, Food Supply, and Topography (HADES)" project. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) submitted these data to NCEI on 2019-06-17.

The following is the text of the dataset description provided by BCO-DMO:

HADES-K - georeferenced macrofauna

Dataset Description:
This dataset includes geo-referenced megafaunal counts from the Kermadec Trench, April/May 2014. The dives were in the Southwest Pacific, 4000 to ~10,000m from the R/V Thomas G. Thompson during cruise TN309 (HADES-K), April - May 2014.

Supplemental Information	Acquisition Description: The HROV Nereus was used to conduct exploration and characterization (including downloading video seafloor transects) of the Kermadec Trench region in May 2014. Geo-referenced vehicle navigation was conducted using R/V Thompson’s GPS launch position of the vehicle, the estimated initial on bottom position of the vehicle, the course over ground (determined by the Gyro heading, Doppler Velocity Profiler, and thruster speed). The HROV transected between 1 and 5 meters off the seafloor, utilizing a down-looking Sony 4k HD camera system, in collaboration with the Advanced Imaging and Visualization Lab at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Megafauna was enumerated via direct counts from continuous video. Taxonomic identifications were based on comparison with published morphological characters when possible. Nereus transect video was annotated using CADTV version 11 software and geo-referencing of continuous navigation was conducted via Matlab (2011 Release; MathWorks, Inc.) and Microsoft Excel for Mac 14.7.3.
