Abstract

DivePoints is a point shapefile generated during data post-processing. The data represent the estimated position of the divers at each 5-second survey point during the towed-diver survey. The data is generated by processing the GPS positions (collected on the small boat during the survey) using a track processing algorithm, which calculates the position of divers based on the track, speed, and course of the boat and depths of the divers. The DivePoints are the input used in the track processing algorithm to create the Segments and Tows shapefile.

Description

Data table for DivePoints from the towed-diver surveys.

Data Attribute / Type	Description
OBJECTID NUMBER	Primary key: sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.
LOCALTIME NVARCHAR2	Date and Time of GPS position based on the local Time Zone for the area being surveyed (dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.000000000 AM/PM).
GMTIME NVARCHAR2	Date and Time of the GPS position based on GMT +/-0:00 (dd-MMM-yy hh.mm.ss.000000000 AM/PM).
DIVEYEAR NUMBER	4-digit year the survey was conducted.
REGION NVARCHAR2	4-letter region code for the geographic region (archipelago) in which the survey was conducted. AMSM: American Samoa MARI: Guam and Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands MNHI: Main Hawaiian Islands NWHI: Northwestern Hawaiian Islands PRIA: Pacific Remote Island Areas
ISLAND NVARCHAR2	3-letter island code for the island at which the survey was conducted. Full name of each island code is listed in the Island_Lookup_Table.csv.
LAT NUMBER	Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, of the estimated diver position.
LON NUMBER	Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, of the estimated diver position.
DIVEID NUMBER	Unique ID/9-digit serial number for each 50-minute survey. The serial number is formed by concatenating the 4-digit survey year, 2-digit month, 2-digit day, and dive/tow survey number of the day (1-6). The dive number sequence restarts each day and is restricted to values 1-6. For example, the DIVE ID for the first dive on March 13, 2011 is 201103131.
SEGMENTID NUMBER	Unique ID/11-digit serial number for each 5-minute survey segment/observation. The serial number is formed by concatenating the DIVEID with the 2 digit segment number (01-10).
