- Abstract:
-
As part of the Barrier Island Evolution Research Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted nearshore geophysical surveys off the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, in June of 2011. The overall objectives of the study are to better understand barrier-island geomorphic evolution, particularly storm-related depositional and erosional processes that shape the islands over annual to interannual timescales (1-5 years). Collection of geophysical data will allow us to identify relationships between the geologic history of the island and its present day morphology and sediment distribution. This mapping effort was the first in a series of three planned surveys in this area. High resolution geophysical data collected in each of three consecutive years along this rapidly changing barrier-island system will provide a unique time-series dataset that will significantly further the analyses and geomorphological interpretations of this and other coastal systems, improving our understanding of coastal response and evolution over short time scales (1-5 years).
This report serves as an archive of processed interferometric swath and single-beam bathymetry data that were collected during two cruises (USGS Field Activity Numbers 11BIM01 and 11BIM02) along the northern portion of the Chandeleur Islands, Breton National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana, in June of 2011. Geographic information system data products include a 50 m-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid surface, trackline maps, and point data files. Additional files include error analysis maps, Field Activity Collection System logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee metadata.
- Purpose:
-
This zip archive contains the output of processed single beam bathymetry data collected in June 2011 around the northern Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana. The processed single beam soundings are provided as ASCII x,y,z point data.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The swath bathymetry data were collected and processed in the ITRF2005 geodetic reference ellipsoid, whereas the single-beam data were collected and processed in WGS84 (G1150)/ITRF00. Both datasets were subsequently transformed horizontally to NAD83 and then vertically to NAVD88 and MLLW, using the GEOID09 model, with NOAA VDatum version 3.2 transformation software (http://vdatum.noaa.gov/). The final NAD83, NAVD88 x,y,z position data from each survey were merged to generate a digital elevation model with a cell-size resolution of 50 meters.

The accuracy of the data is determined during data collection. This dataset is from one research cruise and is therefore internally consistent. Methods are employed to maintain data collection consistency aboard the platform. During mobilization, each piece of equipment is isolated to obtain internal and external offset measurements with respect to the survey platform. All the critical measurements are recorded manually and digitally entered into their respective programs. For the single-beam bathymetry, offsets between the single-beam transducers and the Ashtech antenna reference point (ARP) were measured and accounted for in post-processing. Bar checks were performed as calibration efforts and accounted for any drift in the Marimatech Echosounder. Differential Geographic Positioning System (DGPS) coordinates were obtained using post-processing software packages (National Geodetic Survey On-Line Positioning User Service, OPUS, and Waypoint Product Group GrafNav, version 8.10). GPS is always implemented for navigational accuracy either during acquisition or as a post-processing step. These bathymetric data have not been independently verified for accuracy.

All static GPS base station sessions were run through On-Line Positioning User Service (OPUS) maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The base location results from OPUS were entered into a spreadsheet to compute one final coordinate and error analysis for that base location. Using the OPUS values for each day and the total time that data were collected each day, the average weighted value of occupation time was calculated for each day (longer occupation times held more value than shorter times). The final value for latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid was a weighted average of all the GPS session. This value was then used in GrafNav as the base station coordinates. Error was calculated using output from OPUS for each day and was calculated as the absolute value of the final value minus the daily value. For this survey, the maximum horizontal error for the base station used for processing the single-beam bathymetry was 0.00000 to 0.00018 decimal seconds for latitude and 0.00002 to 0.00045 decimal seconds in longitude.

All static base station sessions were processed through On-Line Positioning User Service (OPUS) maintained by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Geodetic Survey (NGS). The base location results from OPUS were entered into a spreadsheet to compute a final, time-weighted positional coordinate (latitude, longitude, and ellipsoid height). Base-station positional error for each GPS session was calculated as the absolute value of the final position minus the session position value. For this survey, the maximum vertical error for the base station used for processing the single-beam bathymetry was +/- 2.1 cm. All single-beam soundings are post-processed to the base station coordinates. During acquisition ship motion was measured using a TSS DMS-05 sensor which measures roll, pitch (manufacturer's specified accuracy +/- 0.05 degrees), and heave (5 percent of heave amplitude or 5 cm). During processing, the TSS measurements were used to geometrically correct the differentially corrected sounding positions. For the single-beam soundings, elevation differences at all trackline crossings were less than or equal to 14 cm, and the elevation differences were within +/- 10 cm for 99.3% of the 434 crossings at which the horizontal distance between soundings was less than 2 m. The maximum vertical transformation error reported by VDatum for eastern Louisiana is 17.1 centimeters.

GPS Acquisition: A GPS base station was erected at a temporarily installed USGS benchmark (TMRK) located on the sound side of the Chandeleur Islands within about 15 km of the farthest single-beam trackline. GPS receivers recorded the 12-channel full-carrier-phase positioning signals (L1/L2) from satellites via the Thales choke-ring antenna. This GPS instrument combination was duplicated on the survey vessel (rover). The base receiver and the rover receiver record their positions concurrently at 1-second (s) recording intervals throughout the survey.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Acquisition: The single-beam bathymetric data were collected aboard the 22-foot R/V TwinVee. Boat motion was recorded at 50-millisecond (ms) intervals using a Teledyne TSS Dynamic Motion Sensor (TSS DMS-05). HYPACK version 10, a marine surveying, positioning, and navigation software package, managed the planned-transect information and provided real-time navigation, steering, correction, data quality, and instrumentation-status information to the boat operator. Depth soundings were recorded at 50-ms intervals using a Marimatech E-SEA-206 echosounder system with dual 208-kilohertz (kHz) transducers. Data from the GPS receiver, motion sensor, and fathometer were recorded in real time and merged into a single raw data file (.raw) in HYPACK, with each device string referenced by a device identification code and time stamped to UTC. Sound velocity measurements were collected using an Applied Microsystems Smart Sound Velocity Profiler (SVP). The instrument was cast overboard periodically throughout the survey to observe changes in water column speed of sound (SOS).

Differentially Corrected Navigation Processing: The coordinate values of the GPS base station (TMRK) are the time-weighted average of values obtained from the National Geodetic Survey On-Line Positioning User Service (OPUS). The base station coordinates were imported into GrafNav version 8.1 (Waypoint Product Group) and the kinematic GPS data from the survey vessel were post-processed to the concurrent GPS session data at the base stations. During processing, steps were taken to ensure that the trajectories between the base to the rover were clean, resulting in fixed positions. By analyzing the graphs, trajectory maps, and processing logs that GrafNav produces for each GPS session, GPS data from satellites flagged by the program as having poor health or satellite time segments that had cycle slips could be excluded, or the satellite elevation mask angle could be adjusted to improve the position solutions. The final differentially corrected precise DGPS positions were computed at 1-second (s) intervals for each rover GPS session and exported in ASCII text format to replace the uncorrected real-time rover positions recorded during acquisition. The GPS data were processed and exported in the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) (G1150) geodetic datum.

Single-beam Bathymetry Processing: The final DGPS positions exported from GrafNav were merged with the raw HYPACK files using the System for Accurate Nearshore Depth Surveying (SANDS), version 3.2. SANDS is a single-beam acoustic (sounding) GPS-based hydrographic processing software developed by the USGS for shallow water bathymetric mapping. Data were merged, geometrically corrected, and exported from SANDS in the originally acquired ellipsoid datum of WGS84 (G1150), which is equivalent to ITRF00.

Single-Beam Bathymetry Error Analysis: The processed single-beam data points were imported into ArcGIS, and an in-house Python script was created to evaluate the elevation differences at the intersection of crossing tracklines. The script calculates the elevation difference between points at each intersection using an inverse distance weighting equation. Elevation values at line crossings should not differ by more than the combined instrument acquisition error (manufacturer specified accuracies). GPS cycle slips, stormy weather conditions, and rough sea surface states may all contribute to poor data quality. If discrepancies were found that exceed the acceptable error threshold, then the line determined to be in error was either statically adjusted or removed. A line in error is considered to have one or more of the following: (1) a segment where several crossings are incomparable, (2) a known equipment problem, or (3) known bad GPS data seen in the post-processing steps.
