Dataset description: uenhtif_sscan

Enhanced sidescan-sonar TIFF images in a UTM projection on the inner continental shelf off the northern Oregon and southern Washington. Enhanced lines of sidescan imagery (since no mosaic was attempted), with a resolution of 2 m/pixel. The lines are widely spaced, hence the reason for no mosaic. Requires multiple files (total of 26 files) to cover the areas in 1997 and 1998.
