In December, 1992, a SEAFRAME (Sea Level Fine Resolution Acoustic Measuring Equipment) gauge was installed in Betio, Tarawa, Kiribati. Readings(height observations) recorded from the gauge, is held in this record and provided in the form of Yearly Reports, Tide Prediction Calendars and Hourly Sea Level and meteorological data (update frequency- real time) from the Tarawa station. This is downloadable from the Distribution Info Section of this metadata record and dataset available in digital text format.

This record holds 3 Seismic Trackline Index maps, representing survey information collected from the Gulfrex , Mobil and CCOP/SOPAC cruises conducted around the Solomon Is sea area in 1972 to 1979. Collection includes a hand drawn copy and 2 digitally compiled copies, drawn on sepia paper by Phil Woodward. Copy of the maps and the report can be downloaded by selecting the appropriate link under 'Online resources' with permission from the Secretariat.
This record holds a Bathymetry image of the Solomon Islands. Image data consists of tracklines and Station plan of the Solomon Islands. The image was produced from leg 3 of the 1981 Kana Keoki cruise. The third leg of the R/V Kana Keoki CCOP/SOPAC cruise was undertaken to
further investigate both the general question of what happens when a spreading
center is Woodlark - Solomons case.

The report gives an overview of the cruise of R/V Kilo Moana, a US flagged science vessel belonging to the Office of Navel Research and operated by the University of Hawaii. The cruise took place during 2007 and was organised around a US National Science Foundation funded study of the diversity and activity of nitrogen-fixing organisms (diazotrophs).

The report relates to the scientific programme of the R/V Kilo Moana, a US flagged science vessel belonging to the office of Naval Research and operated by the University of Hawaii. The cruise took place in 2007 along a transect from Hawaii to Australia, and was designed to understand the genetic and physiological diversity of Prochlorococcus, the most abundant marine photosynthetic organism, in the Western Pacific Ocean.
The South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission, SOPAC, carried out a marine survey for Samoa around the island of Savai'i and Upolu. The Bathymetric map of Samoa shows the chart bounds as blue boxes. The wave and current regime at three main locations mainly in the passage between the two islands (Apolima Strait) was also investigated.
This record holds the bathymetry chart of Marovo Island in the Solomon Islands . High-resolution bathymetric mapping survey, was conducted for the seabed surrounding the island of Marovo, to collect data. The survey was carried out from the 1st of July 2005 to the 6th of July 2005 using Reason 8160 MBES equipment and from the 30th of June to the 7th of July 2005 using Reason 8101 MBES ,resulting in the acquisition of part of over 1 535 km of multibeam echosounder (MBES) data collected for the Solomon Islands.
This record holds the Bathymetry datasets of the offshore areas of Nui Atoll island in Tuvalu. The dataset are in XYZ text delimited format . Nui is a N-S elongated atoll island approximately 8.1 km long and 2.5 km wide, centred on 7 degrees 13'S and 177 degrees 9'E.
Nanumea is an elongated atoll 13 km long along the NW-SE axis, and 2.4 km wide along the SWNE axis, centred on 176 degrees 6'E and 5 degrees 39'S. The surveyed area extends to a maximum of approximately 5.3 km offshore from the coastline at the northwest tip of the atoll.
The resultant data from the SOPAC marine survey conducted in 2004 was used to produce nine bathymetry charts for Tuvalu at scales ranging from 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 and the Nanumea bathymetry chart is available here for download under the Distribution Info.
Nanumanga Island, located at 6 degrees 17'S and 176 degrees 19'E, is a low reef island comprising a single island approximately 3.7 km long along the N-S axis, and 1.6 km wide along the E-W. The island is surrounded by a fringing reef, with small central brackish-water lagoons. The surveyed area extends to an average of approximately 4.0 km, with maximum coverage of 7.3 km from the coastline to the north.
The Pacific Islands Applied Geoscience Commission (SOPAC) carried out a marine survey for Tuvalu in the waters around all nine atolls and low reef islands, namely, Nanumea,
Niutao, Nanumanga, Nui, Vaitupu, Nukufetau, Funafuti, Nukulaelae, Niulakita. This work was initiated by the SOPAC/EU Reducing Vulnerability of Pacific ACP States Project.
