NOAA/PIBHMC 5-m Bathymetry: CNMI: Tinian

A 5-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Tinian Island in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys merged with coastal bathymetry derived from multipectral IKONOS satellite data and aerial LiDAR data. Includes nearby Aguijan Island and Tatsumi Bank. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 0 and 400 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 "mp_pibhmc_tin_bathy5m_hillshade" in the distribution links listed in the metadata.
