Data Attribute / Type Description
OBJECTID
NUMBER
Primary key for the data table.
MISSIONID
VARCHAR2
Mission identifier: NOAA Ship, 2-digit federal fiscal year, 2-digit mission number for the fiscal year. HA/HI = NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai OES = NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette TC = NOAA Ship Townsend Cromwell Shore = shore-based survey launch
REGION_NAME
VARCHAR2
The name of the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
ISLAND
NVARCHAR2
Name of island or atoll surveyed in the Pacific Islands region (REGION_NAME).
OBS_YEAR
NUMBER
4-digit year the survey was conducted (DATE_).
DATE_
DATE
Date of the tow survey. dd-MMM-yy
TOW_TYPE
NVARCHAR2
Normal = standard towed diver survey (not a calibration survey).
REEF_ZONE
NVARCHAR2
The reef zone for the given towed diver segment (Forereef, Backreef, Lagoon, unspecified). Forereef: The sloping bottom underlying the wave break zone, extending seaward from the reef crest. Comprehensive surveys of forereef habitats remain the priority for towed-diver operations. Backreef: The shallow strip of reef sheltered from breaking waves by the reef crest, situated between the reef crest and the lagoon floor. Lagoon: The zone sheltered from the waves by the reef crest, and separated from the reef crest by the back reef. Usually deeper than the back reef and covered in unconsolidated sediment, this term describes both an atoll's interior and the expanse situated between the back reef and shore of any islands present. Unspecified: these are other areas surveyed using towed-diver methods, which include bank (a submerged platform reef, often occurring either as an isolated feature atop a seamount or as a plateau situated between the fore reef and a deeper slope) and channel (a submerged transition between forereef and backreef zones created by a gap in the reef crest).
TOWKEY
NUMBER
Unique key for the given tow (DIVEID).
DIVEID
NUMBER
Unique ID representing 4-digit year, 2-digit month, 2-digit day, and tow number of day (1-6).
SEGMENTID
NUMBER
Unique ID representing 4-digit year, 2-digit month, 2-digit day, tow number of day (1-6), and SEGMENT number (01-10).
SEGMENT
NUMBER
Segment number for a given tow. Segments represent 5-minute increments and there are typically, but not always, 10 segments per tow.
DEPTH
NUMBER
Mean depth in meters of the towed diver during the 5-min observation (SEGMENT). May be null if the SEABIRD failed or if the instrument data could not be synced with the GPS or observation data.
TEMPERATURE
NUMBER
Mean temperature in degrees Celsius during the 5-min observation (SEGMENT). May be null if the SEABIRD failed or if the instrument data could not be synced with the GPS or observation data.
STARTLOCALTIME
DATETIME
Local starting date and time of the 5-min observation (dd-MMM-yy hh:mm:ss). Start and stop time is not consistently provided.
ENDLOCALTIME
DATETIME
Local ending date and time of the 5-min observation (dd-MMM-yy hh:mm:ss). Start and stop time is not consistently provided.
CENTROIDLAT
NUMBER
Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the midpoint of the given 5-min SEGMENT.
CENTROIDLON
NUMBER
Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84 for the midpoint of the given 5-min SEGMENT.
PROJECTEDLENGTH
NUMBER
Calculated length of SEGMENT in meters using GIS.
TAXONCODE
TEXT
4-letter code for TAXONNAME.
TAXONNAME
TEXT
Scientific name of observed organism to the finest taxonomic resolution that divers can identify.
COUNT
NUMBER
Number of organisms observed for the given SEGMENT.
SIZE_CM
NUMBER
Length of organism, reported in centimeters. In some cases the size of exceptionally large (i.e., whales) or partially hidden (i.e., eels) organisms may not be provided.
PHYLUM
NVARCHAR2
Taxonomic classification: Phylum of observed organism (TAXONNAME).
CLASS
NVARCHAR2
Taxonomic classification: Class of observed organism (TAXONNAME).
ORDER
NVARCHAR2
Taxonomic classification: Order of observed organism (TAXONNAME).
FAMILY
NVARCHAR2
Taxonomic classification: Family of observed organism (TAXONNAME).
COMMONFAMILYALL
NVARCHAR2
Common name given for the FAMILY (used for grouping purposes during data analysis). For example, Dolphin, Monk Seal, and Turtle, among others.
SCIENTIFIC_NAME
VARCHAR2
Taxonomic classification: the true scientific name (genus and species) of the observed organism (TAXONNAME). If NULL, organism not identified to species taxonomic level.
COMMONNAME
NVARCHAR2
Common name of the organism (TAXONNAME). If NULL, organism not identified to species taxonomic level.
