HW1_Q29.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (29 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）测绘项目的第五个主要分段。该区域的数据采集耗时约半年，于1986年至1989年的四年间分8次航次完成，期间跳过了1987年。勘测结束时，该区域共完成29幅2°×2°的镶嵌图。与此前的EEZ踏勘勘测一致，美国地质调查局（USGS）采用GLORIA（Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic）侧扫声呐系统开展地质测绘。采集到的GLORIA数据经过处理与数字化镶嵌，生成了连续的海底影像。最终该区域共完成27幅2°×2°的数字化镶嵌图，以及2幅2.25°×2°的数字化镶嵌图，两者的像素分辨率均为50米。
