Kailua Bay, Oahu, Hawaii benthic mapping data for 1999-2001 (NODC Accession 0001239)

Benthic mapping surveys were conducted from March 1999 to January 2001 aperiodically in support of research related to sedimentology, sea level history, and reef development. Various parameters such as substrate, coral, and coralline algae types and percent bottom coverages of each were quantified using the Linear Transect Method (LTM) or Line Intercept Technique along 30 m transects at typically -3 or -20 meters depth. Various derived parameters such as abundance and diversity were also determined.

本研究于1999年3月至2001年1月不定期开展底栖制图调查，以支撑沉积学、海平面历史及珊瑚礁发育相关研究。针对底质、珊瑚及珊瑚藻类型，以及各组分的底栖覆盖百分率等多项参数，研究人员在典型水深-3米或-20米处，沿30米样带采用线性样带法（Linear Transect Method, LTM）或截线拦截法（Line Intercept Technique）完成量化统计。此外，还测定得到丰度、多样性等各类衍生参数。
