HW1_Q13.TIF - Hawaii I - Southeastern Hawaiian Ridge U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data mosaic (13 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.夏威夷东南海岭勘测项目是专属经济区（Exclusive Economic Zone，EEZ）测绘计划的第五个正式实施段。该区域的数据采集工作耗时约半年，于1986年至1989年的四年间开展了8次科考航次，期间跳过了1987年。勘测结束后，该区域共完成29幅海底镶嵌图。与早期专属经济区普查勘测一致，美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey，USGS）采用GLORIA侧扫声呐系统（Geological LOng-Range Inclined Asdic）完成了本次地质测绘任务。采集到的GLORIA数据经过处理与数字镶嵌，生成了连续的海底影像。该区域最终共完成27幅2°×2°的数字镶嵌图，以及2幅像素分辨率为50米的2.25°×2°镶嵌图。
