+/- 3 meters
in the bay, +/- 6 cm; in the sloughs and creeks, +/- 15 cm. Depths reduced to NAVD88 vertical datum.
Soundings were collected during periods of high tide in order to optimize Òbank-to-bankÓ coverage of South Bay tidal flats, and provide maximum overlap with the aerial topographic LIDAR data collected months earlier during periods of low tide.
Soundings were collected across South San Francisco Bay along tracklines spaced at nominal 100m intervals and oriented in a southwest-northeast direction (perpendicular to the general bathymetric contour of the seafloor). Survey tracklines were divided into tide zones defined by NOAA (2006), with 100m overlap into adjacent zones. Dividing the tracklines into tide zone simplified processing the soundings and provided a QC check in the overlap area around tide zone boundaries. Unless obstructions were encountered, soundings near the shoreline extend to elevation +0.3m MLLW or higher. When practical, soundings were collected around obstructions to complete sounding lines. Overlap between survey areas and cross-lines (tielines) are provided for quality-control assessment of the soundings. Soundings were collected during all stages of the tide, provided that sufficient water depth was available for safe navigation. Areas shallower than Ð1m MLLW were surveyed during periods of extreme high tides when the water surface elevation is +1.75m MLLW or higher. Areas deeper than Ð3m MLLW were surveyed during all stages of the tide (high and low), but always during periods of ÒneapÓ tides when the water surface elevation changes less than 1.25m between high and low tides. Survey lines terminated early because of shallow water during low or moderate tides were re-surveyed during extreme high tides in order to collect soundings as far upland as possible. For QC purposes, survey lines terminated early at low tide are re-surveyed at high tide with a minimum 100m overlap.
To make the soundings comparable to historical data, water depths were measured and corrected for tide using the same methods as used during the more recent of the historical surveys of South San Francisco Bay. Soundings were collected using a single-beam, survey-grade depthfinder having the same frequency and beam-width as used during the more recent of the historical surveys. Soundings were corrected to the MLLW vertical datum using tide data measured at the same location and reduced by the same organization (NOAA) as historical surveys.
Soundings from the hydrographic survey are in meters referenced to two separate vertical datum, including MLLW and NAVD-88. USGS will compare soundings referenced to MLLW to historical NOS surveys of South San Francisco Bay, and merge soundings referenced to NAVD-88 with the May 2004 LIDAR topographic data to create a terrain model of existing land surface elevation and bay bathymetry.
