Resumen

La recopilación de los datos acústicos disponibles sobre pesca encierra un importante potencial de cartografía de los fondos marinos. Estimamos que en el Noreste de los Estados Unidos, los datos del Simrad EK60 de la flota pesquera de la NOAA podrían aumentar la cobertura batimétrica hasta un 9%. Este artículo describe los procesos y técnicas automatizados iniciales utilizados para: extraer el fondo marino desde los datos de la columna registrados por el Simrad EK60 recogidos con los barcos de pesca de la NOAA, obtener y aplicar la mejor información disponible para reconocer el fondo marino en relación con el datum de la carta y verificar el resultado con la batimetría cualificada existente.

Rosemary Burkhalter-Castro, Eckerd College

Rosemary Burkhalter-Castro is a recent graduate of Eckerd College where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Marine Geophysics. As an undergraduate, she was selected as a NOAA Hollings Scholar and became involved with NOAA Hydrographic Systems and Technologies Branch (HSTB) through a summer internship. After finishing her degree, she worked a second internship with HSTB as a contractor to Earth Resources Technologies Inc. Rosemary plans on beginning graduate school in 2021 to obtain a PhD in Geological Oceanography. She hopes to incorporate hydrography into her doctoral thesis and future career.

Certain articles, especially those dealing with historical aspects, may well have to quote unpublished, archival or 'cumbersome' material, some of which may require further explanation in note form.
