Description:

Abstract:

This part of DS 781 presents data for the depth-to-transition map of the Bolinas to Pescadero, California, region. The raster data file is included in "TransgressiveContours_BolinasToPescadero.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/BolinasToPescadero/data_catalog_BolinasToPescadero.html.

As part of the USGS's California State Waters Mapping Project, a 50-m grid of sediment thickness for the seafloor within the 3-nautical mile limit between Bolinas and Pescadero was generated from seismic-reflection data collected between 2006 and 2010, supplemented with outcrop and geologic structure (fault) information following the methodology of Wong (2012). Water depths determined from bathymetry data were added to the sediment thickness data to provide information on the depth to base of the post-LGM unit. This polyline shapefile provides the depth-to-transition contours to accompany the grid layer.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Data points are approximately 1 m apart along tracklines and 1000-2000 m apart between tracks. 50-m cell size for interpolation is better supported along track than between.

Logical_Consistency_Report: All vector geometry and attributes present.
Completeness_Report:

Sediment thickness data points exported from Seisworks profiling software were processed within the California 3-nmi limit.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The chirp sonar instrument is deployed under the research vessel with about 10m of variation in position. The sparker position may vary as much as 20m from the navigation reference on the vessel.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Estimated to be approximately 1 m, along the track lines where data is well constrained, but may be much greater in areas where interpolation occurred.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Water bottom (seabed) and depth to base of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) horizons were digitized from seismic-reflection data using Seisworks software. The difference between the two horizons was exported from Seisworks for every shot point as XY coordinates (UTM Zone 10) and two-way travel time (TWT). The thickness was determined by applying a sound velocity to the TWT of 1,500 m/sec in water and 1,600 m/sec velocity in sediment, resulting in sediment thickness values.

Process_Date: 2011

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

XY locations and sediment thickness values Z were imported to ArcGIS format as points and interpolated to a preliminary surface with TopoRaster from which isopachs (thickness contours) were extracted at 2.5 m intervals. Further refinement of this sediment thickness map and the isopach shapefile (see https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/BolinasToPescadero/data/Isopachs_BolinasToPescadero.zip) was accomplished through several iterations of manual editing to incorporate geology and fault information following the methodology of Wong (2012; see http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1161/).
