Condor Seamount Seabed features
Map derived from the work presented by F.Tempera and coleagues on the Condor seamount, near Faial Island in the Azores. High-resolution datasets collected by multibeam and acoustic backscatter surveys were
used to produce fine-scale seafloor nature and morpho-tectonic interpretations of the seamount, collected from various acoustic surveys from 2008 to 2010. submitted in Fernando Tempera, Ana Hip├│lito, Jos├® Madeira, Sara Vieira,
Aldino S. Campos, Neil C. Mitchell, Condor seamount (Azores, NE Atlantic): A
morpho-tectonic interpretation, Deep-Sea Research II, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.

Lineage
| Statement | Backscatter mosaics were integrated in the ArcGIS project and used as a basis for a human-assisted interpretation of seabed nature (consolidated vs. unconsolidated) at a scale of 1:20,000. Interpretation of tonal and textural backscatter properties followed Blondel and Murton (1997). In situations where backscatter exhibited insufficient quality, the demarcation of the rocky areas was assisted by (i) an examination of the geomorphological context, (ii) seafloor type information derived from groundtruthing surveys and (iii) bathymetric texture in the form of high-resolution slope and sun-illuminated relief maps. Using this complementary information was particularly relevant to improve the substrate delineation in areas where acoustic backscatter was only provided by the TOBI backscatter mosaic. Because of towfish-ship location uncertainties, this dataset was poorly registered with respect to the multibeam bathymetry at the fine scale used. |
