Description:
Abstract:
These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30 m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (<http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html>).
This is the spatial dataset for the Red Brook Harbor survey area within Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. These data are the results of a high-resolution geophysical (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples and bottom photographs) survey, conducted in 2009.
In addition to inclusion within the USGS-CZM geologic mapping effort, these Red Brook Harbor data will be used to assess the shallow-water mapping capability of the geophysical systems deployed for this project, with an emphasis on identifying resolution benchmarks for the interferometric sonar system. (<http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-018-FA>)
Purpose:
This dataset contains trackline navigation for approximately 240 km of interferometric (Systems Engineering and Assessment Ltd. (SEA) SWATHplus) sonar data that were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Red Brook Harbor, Massachusetts, during USGS survey 09018.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All attributes were checked in a consistent manner.
Logical_Consistency_Report: Spurious data points were removed during processing.
Completeness_Report:
This shapefile includes trackline navigation from all the interferometric sonar data that was collected within the survey area; however only quality bathymetric soundings along the main survey lines were included in the final bathymetry grid included on this report. Bathymetric and backscatter data along the tielines were not included in the final bathymetry grid and backscatter image.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The SWATHplus transducers were mounted on a rigid, vertical pole, at the bow of the R/V Rafael, approximately 0.5 meters below the water line. Navigation antennas (one Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) antenna and two Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS antennas) were mounted on a horizontal crossbar atop the vertical transducer mount pole. The horizontal positions for soundings were acquired with an Octopus F180 Attitude and Positioning System integrated with a Novatel DGPS. Horizontal sounding positions were recorded to raw sonar data files (SXR) via SWATHplus acquisition software (version 3.06.05.00). Position data from an Ashtech Surveyor RTK GPS, a Novatel DL-V3 RTK GPS, and an CSI LGBX Pro DGP were recorded by HYPACK survey software to HYPACK raw files. A conservative estimate of the positional accuracy of the CSI LGBX Pro DGPS unit is ± 2 meters.

Bathymetric and backscatter data were collected using a Systems Engineering and Assessment, Ltd. SWATHplus (234 kHz) interferometric sonar system. The SWATHplus transducers were mounted on a rigid pole, approximately 0.5 m below the water line, from the bow of the of the R/V Rafael of Woods Hole, MA. A CodaOctopus F-180 Attitude and Positioning System, mounted directly above the SWATHplus transducers, measured vertical displacement (heave) and attitude (pitch and roll) of the vessel during data acquisition. An Applied Microsystems Ltd. Micro SV sound velocimeter, mounted adjacent to the SWATHplus transducers, continually measured changes in sound-velocity near the sea surface, and a hand-casted, Applied MicroSystems SV Plus sound velocimeter was used to collect sound-velocity profiles of the entire water column at least once each survey day. SWATHplus acquisition software was used to control the transducers and digitally log sonar data across an 80 m swath in the SWATHplus SXR format. An RTK-corrected GPS signal was transmitted to a beacon aboard the survey vessel once every second from a base station established by USGS personnel in the inner harbor. RTK vertical heights were used to correct tidal offsets during post-processing. To obtain 100 percent coverage of the seafloor, survey lines were spaced approximately 30 m apart. The R/V Rafael maintained an average speed of 5 knots during survey operations. The trackline for survey line l147f1 shows a loop during which interferometric data was still collected. Interferometric sounding and backscatter data for this loop was excluded from bathymetry and backscatter datasets.

Raw to Processed Conversion: Survey navigation information is stored within each raw (SXR) data file. Each raw SWATHplus bathymetric sonar file (SXR) was converted to a SWATHplus processed file (SXP) using SEA SWATHplus Swath Processor (ver. 3.06.05.00).

CARIS Processing: A new Computer Aided Resource Information System (CARIS) Hydrographic Information Processing System (HIPS) project (ver. 6.1) was created with projection information set to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 19, WGS84. Each SWATHplus processed file (SXP) was imported to the new CARIS project using the Import/Conversion Wizard. Navigation was checked and edited as needed using the Navigation Editor tool.

Process_Description:
A series of Perl and AWK programming scripts were used to extract and subsample the navigation fixes stored in the CARIS HIPS database. The processing flow for this step follows: A.) Extract navigation for each line in CARIS HDCS directory using Perl script do_CARIS_nav2.pl (which runs the CARIS program printfnav for all the lines in the HDCS dir) and the grep statement below. (Extracted navigation file is tab-delimited in format YYYY-JD HH:MM:SS:FFF DD.LAT DD.LONG SSSSS_VVVVV_YYYY-JD_LLLL AR where YYYY=year, JD=Julian Day, HH=hour, MM=minute, SS=seconds, FFF=fractions of a second, DD.LAT=latitude in decimal degrees, DD.LONG=longitude in decimal degrees, SSSSS=survey name, VVVVV=vessel name, LLLL=linename, AR=accepted or rejected navigation fix) > grep Accepted combined.txt > outputfile B.) The files extracted from CARIS HIPS have 4-5 navigation fixes per second. Each file was subsampled to 1 fix per second by using AWK (see code below) to remove the fractions-of-a-second from the time column then grabbing the first occurrence of each second. > awk '{print $1" "substr($2,1,8)" "$3" "$4" "$5}' 2.ss_combined_grep.txt | awk '$2 != prev { print; prev = $2 }' > 3.ss_nav_awked.txt. C.) Checked that there were no additional spurious fixes outside the survey area using another series of AWK code (see code below), and reformatted for conversion from comma separated value (CSV) data to ESRI point feature class > awk -F" " '{if(substr($4,1,3)!="-70") print $0}' 3.ss_nav_awked.txt > awk -F" " '{if(substr($3,1,1)!="4") print $0}' 3.ss_nav_awked.txt > awk -f reformat_CARIS2Arc_SS.awk 3.ss_nav_awked.txt > SS_bathyNAV_ofr.csv

Within ArcMap (version 9.3) XToolsPro (version 5.3.0) was used to convert the navigation point file to a trackline polyline shapefile. The trackline shapefile was checked for spurious fixes. The following fields were added to the polyline shapefile using XToolsPro: FILENAME, YEAR, JULDAY, SURVEYID, DEVICEID, VEHICLEID, LENGTH. Fields were populated as: FILENAME = linename, YEAR = year of survey, JULDAY = Julian day surveyed (via tabular join with nav point shapefile), SURVEYID = USGS survey number, DEVICEID = device used for collection, VEHICLEID = survey vessel, LENGTH = length of each survey line calculated in kilometers (Calculate geometry at attribute table).
