NOAA/PIBHMC 20-m Bathymetry: American Samoa: Northeast Bank: Hillshade

Published by Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2016-01-25T00:00:00.000+00:00
A 20-m resolution gridded digital elevation model (DEM) grayscale hillshade for the bathymetry (ocean depth) surrounding Northeast Bank in American Samoa compiled from ship-borne multibeam sonar surveys. Northeast Bank (also called Muli Seamount) lies approximately 60 km northeast of Tutuila and 50 km northwest of Ofu Island. Almost complete bottom coverage was achieved in depths between 48 and 1822 m. Data collected by the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) in support of NOAA's Coral Reef Conservation Program. Not to be used for navigational purposes.
