The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | National Coral Reef Monitoring Program: Photomosaic images of Cheeca Rocks Coral Reef, Islamorada, Florida collected on 2016-07-11 (NCEI Accession 0178832) |
| Abstract: | This data set contains photomosaic images of coral reef benthic communities, created as a product for the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program’s (CRCP) National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP). Photomosaics are a composite of many underwater images, digitally stitched together into a single cohesive photo. These mosaics have approximately the same resolution and clarity of the component pictures but collectively produce a “landscape view” of the coral reef community within each plot. To produce a photomosaic, a scuba diver holds the mosaic rig, containing two separate cameras, above the reef plot while swimming back and forth in a crosshatch pattern. Images are taken from roughly one to two meters above the benthos, at a rate of one image per second per camera. This swimming technique allows the mosaic rig to gather 1500-3000 images which are then compiled into a single photomosaic using Photoscan (Agisoft). Six reef plots (10 m x 10 m each) were captured at Cheeca Rocks Coral Reef, Islamorada, Florida as part of this dataset. A total of six TIFF files are included in this data submission, each corresponding to one reef plot. |
