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: |
Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities: Mapping, Ground-truthing, and Predictive Habitat Modeling: Geospatial products of water depth, and acoustic backscatter data collected on NOAA Ship Nancy Foster (NF2206) in the Gulf of Mexico from 2022-08-16 to 2022-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0279545) |
Abstract: |
This dataset contains bathymetry and backscatter surfaces created from data collected aboard NOAA ship Nancy Foster (NF-22-06), using Multibeam echosounder Kongsberg EM710. The dataset contains four geotagged tiff images – two each representing seafloor bathymetry and backscatter at 16 m by 16 m resolution. There are two images each for bathymetry and backscatter because the data collection area spanned across two UTM zones. The data were collected in 2022 as a part of the Mesophotic and Deep Benthic Communities (MDBC): Mapping Ground-truthing, and Predictive Habitat Modeling Project. This project is one of many selected by the Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group to restore natural resources injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. |
