Purpose: The data were collected as part of studies to map the sea floor (Butman and others (1998), Butman (2002)) and to develop an understanding of the transport and long-term fate of sediments and associated contaminants in the New York Bight (Mecray and others, 1999). The images and texture data were collected to provide direct observations of the sea floor geology and to aid in the interpretation of backscatter intensity data obtained from sidescan sonar and multibeam surveys of the sea floor.

The grain size charactersitcs were measured in the laboratory using methods described in the U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 00-358 by L.J. Poppe and C.F. Polloni. Logical_Consistency_Report: N/A Completeness_Report: This data set contains all of the stations occupied on four USGS cruises where bottom samples and/or sea floor photographs and video were collected. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These data were navigated with a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS); they are accurate to about +/- 3 meters, horizontally. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: N/A Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: These data are in the form of geographic coordinates. No manipulation of the data were necessary. The textural characteristics of the sediments from these cruises were determined at the USGS Woods Hole Field Center Sediment Laboratory. The sediment grain size distribution was measured using a combination of mechanical sieves or a rapid sediment analyzer to measure the sediment fraction greater than 63 microns in diameter, and a coulter counter to measure the abundance of particles less than 63 microns in diameter. The bottom photographs that are included with this publication were recorded on 35 mm film. After developing, the film was used to create a digital archive of the photographs on CD-ROM. The digital photos were stored as .PCD files which were later converted to .JPG images for use in this publication. During bottom sampling, video of the sea floor was recorded to Hi-8 mm video tape. Video excerpts were digitized and included in this publication.
