This grid is used to understand features in the Puerto Rico trench and make interpretations of the geologic/bathymetric aspects therein. The intentions of this dataset are to provide qualitative and quantitative visual information about the trench so that natural hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis can be better understood.

These data were navigated with Differential Global Positioning Systems (DGPS) and a P-code receiver. These systems have an estimated horizontal accuracy of to +/- 3 meters horizontally.
These data have been corrected for vessel motion (roll, pitch, heave, yaw) and referenced to local sea level (no tide corrections). The theoretical vertical resolution of the Sea Beam 2112 multibeam echosounder is 1 % of water depth, approximately 40 - 80 meters within the study area.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
- Access_Constraints: None
