Other_Citation_Details:
This Coastal Relief Gridded database provides the first comprehensive view of the US Coastal Zone; one that extends from the coastal state boundaries to as far offshore as the NOS hydrographic data will support a continuous view of the sea floor. In many cases, this seaward limit reaches out to, and in places even beyond the continental slope. Data sources include the U.S. National Ocean Service and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Description:
Abstract:
This data set includes sea floor topography of the area offshore of New York and New Jersey from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Relief Model (see <http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coastal/coastal.html>). The data set is derived from historical measurements of sea floor depth and is gridded at 90 m spatial resolution.
Purpose:
These data are included in this publication to provide regional bathymetry on maps showing the location of images and samples obtained in the New York Bight.

Other_Citation_Details:
The first elevation grids constructed for the database formed volumes one and two of the NGDC Coastal Relief Model CD-ROM series. These volumes collectively covered an area of the US coastal zone that extends from 48° N to 31° N latitude, encompassing the land areas and surveyed offshore areas of the coastal states from Maine to Georgia. In October, 2001, volumes three, four, and five were released covering the coast of Florida and the US Gulf of Mexico coastal zone (see illustration at upper left). The gridded database will eventually encompass the coastal zone of the continental US, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. However, the US coastal zone is being gridded in sections due to the immense volume of data involved in this project. The grids of the eastern US coastal zone (excluding Florida) are the first in a series of gridded data sets that are being compiled for the US coastal zone. The data sets are being systematically assembled proceeding clockwise around the continental US. The next datasets to be released will be of the western US coastal zone, encompassing California, Oregon and Washington, of the Great Lakes and their bordering states, and then of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. Data sets of Hawaii and Puerto Rico will be included amongst these as well.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The data for these data layers were extracted from the Geodas CDROM Volumes 1 and 2. These CD's are produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, CO. Spatially referenced depth values were exported into an ASCII raster file, which was then imported into Arcview Spatial Analyst to create gridded bathymetry with a cell size of 90 by 90 meters.
