For a one month period beginning 24 February 1991 and finishing on 25 March 1991, USGS and IOS (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, U.K.) scientists conducted a single survey within the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ. The survey focused on the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone surrounding the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll. Unfortunately, the southwestern third of this EEZ was not imaged. The results of this single survey was 7 digital mosaics with a 50-meter pixel resolution. Purpose: This remote sensing image of the sea-floor is a reduced-resolution (250-meter) composite mosaic of the 7 mosaics created from the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ GLORIA sidescan-sonar data.

Process_Step: Process_Description: An empty PCI database for the full extent of the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ GLORIA was defined. The imagery database was defined with a Lambert Conic Conformal (LCC) projection at a resolution of 250-meters. Standard parallels of 10 and 4 and a central longitude of -161.75 were selected with a WGS84 spheroid/datum.

The individual full-resolution GLORIA mosaics with the white flood-filled background were mosaicked together to create a single reduced-resolution composite mosaic for the Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll U.S. EEZ. Individual mosaics were "dropped" into the composite database. No rubber sheeting or geometric corrections were applied to the mosaics. However, some mosaics were radiometrically enhanced to reduce the effect of the individual square boundaries and produce a more uniform overview image. The individual 7 mosaics were combined using a bi-linear resampling mode to reduce noise and blockiness.
