Abstract:
Underwater video samples were obtained from the Deep Underwater Camera II (DUCII) system. Data are in mpeg video format.
Samples were named by: 1. CEAMARC site (e.g. 16) 2. Instrument (e.g. camera = CAM) 3. Sequence of deployments through the survey overall (e.g. first deployment = 01; second deployment = 02) e.g. 09CAM05 is the fifth camera deployment of the survey overall, and was at CEAMARC site 09.
Post-cruise analyses: 15 second logging of seabed geology and biology (species, class, order, whatever is significant for the habitat) directly into GNAV software for overlay into a GIS.
Quality
Data quality are good for all video records.
Access Constraints
Excel spreadsheets detailing the video samples are available for download from the provided URL. A paper detailing the data is also available, but only to AAD personnel.
The video files are too large to be downloaded, and are available on request from the AADC.
