NOAA/PIBHMC 5-m Bathymetry: USMOI: Palmyra Atoll

Metadata Updated: October 7, 2023

A 5-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Palmyra Atoll in the Central Pacific Ocean, a U.S. Minor Outlying Island (USMOI), compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys merged with coastal bathymetry derived from multipectral IKONOS satellite data. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 0 and 300 m. Data collected by the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) in support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. Not to be used for navigational purposes. For a grayscale hillshade image layer of this dataset, see "pat_pibhmc_all_bathy5m_hillshade" in the distribution links listed in the metadata. For further details about this dataset, please see: https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/pibhmc/cms/data-by-location/pacific-remote-island-area/palymyra-atoll/palmyra-atoll-bathymetry/.
