HW1_Q05.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (5 of 29) (LCC, 50 m, WGS84)

Survey of the southeastern Hawaiian Ridge was the fifth major segment of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) mapping program to have been initiated. Data acquisition for this region required approximately one-half year and were acquired during eight cruises over a four year period from 1986 through 1989, skipping 1987. At the conclusion of the survey 29 mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree were completed for the region. As in earlier EEZ reconnaissance surveys, the USGS utilized the GLORIA (Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic) sidescan-sonar system to complete the geologic mapping. The collected GLORIA data were processed and digitally mosaicked to produce continuous imagery of the seafloor. A total of twenty-seven digital mosaics of a 2 degree by 2 degree area and 2 mosaics of 2.25 degree by 2 degree with a 50-meter pixel resolution were completed for the region.

夏威夷海岭东南部勘测是已启动的专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone，EEZ）测绘项目的第五个核心分段。该区域的数据采集工作耗时约半年，于1986年至1989年的四年间通过8次科考航次完成，期间未开展1987年的航次。勘测任务完成后，该区域共完成29幅单幅尺寸为2°×2°的声呐镶嵌图。与早期EEZ普查勘测一致，美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）采用GLORIA（地质远程倾斜声呐，Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic）侧扫声呐系统开展地质测绘工作。所采集的GLORIA数据经处理与数字镶嵌后，生成了连续的海底影像。该区域最终共完成27幅单幅尺寸为2°×2°的数字镶嵌图，以及2幅单幅尺寸为2.25°×2°的数字镶嵌图，所有镶嵌图的像素分辨率均为50米。
