The Reson 8101 was operated at a frequency of 240 kHz and a maximum speed of 6 knots. The system is designed for operation in water depths of 5 to 125 m, and has a horizontal range of 75 to 500 m that depends on water depth. Each time the system fires or "pings", it collects 101 individual soundings in a swath oriented perpendicular to the vessel track. Acquisition was monitored in real time with the ISIS software (version 5.29) and recorded to XTF format. NOAA Office of Coast Survey converted the XTF data to CARIS HDCS (Hydrographic Data Cleaning System) format, then processed and tide-corrected the data with CARIS HIPS (Hydrographic Information Processing System) software. The CARIS HIPS database was transfered to the USGS/CZM in 2004 for use in this project. The NOAA acquisition vessels were also equipped with Odom Echotrac DF3200 MKII echosounders that logged high-frequency (100 kHz) vertical-beam soundings concurrently throughout the sidescan sonar and multibeam bathymetry surveying operations. Vertical-beam soundings were recorded in Hypack raw format and later converted to CARIS HDCS format. The NOAA Office of Coast Survey cleaned and merged the data and performed tide corrections using CARIS HIPS.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <BR /> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process step:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process description:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">Bathymetry soundings from the multibeam surveys were exported from CARIS HIPS at a 2-meter grid interval for each of the four survey areas and vertical-beam soundings from surveys H10990, H10992, and H10994 were exported from CARIS HIPS at a 5-meter grid interval. The vertical-beam data from survey H01991 were processed by NOAA prior to their use of CARIS and a separate xyz file was provided for these soundings.

The GMT grid was converted to an ASCII grid using the Gdal utility gdal_translate (FWTools, version 1.0.0a7 and Gdal, version 1.3.1).</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <BR /> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process contact:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact information:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact person primary:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact person:</B></FONT> Seth Ackerman</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact organization:</B></FONT> Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact position:</B></FONT> Geologist</DT> <BR /><BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact address:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address type:</B></FONT> mailing and physical address</DT> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">c/o U.S. Geological Survey</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">384 Woods Hole Rd.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>City:</B></FONT> Woods Hole</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>State or province:</B></FONT> MA</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Postal code:</B></FONT> 02543-1598</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Country:</B></FONT> USA</DT> </DL> </DD> <BR /> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact voice telephone:</B></FONT> 508-548-8700 x2315</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact facsimile telephone:</B></FONT> 508-457-2310</DT> <BR /><BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact electronic mail address:</B></FONT> seth.ackerman@state.ma.us</DT> <BR /><BR /></DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process step:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process description:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">In ArcGIS 9.0 (ArcToolbox) the ASCII grid was imported to an ESRI raster grid (cell size = 30 m).</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <BR /> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process contact:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact information:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact person primary:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact person:</B></FONT> Seth Ackerman</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact organization:</B></FONT> Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact position:</B></FONT> Geologist</DT> <BR /><BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact address:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address type:</B></FONT> mailing and physical address</DT> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">c/o U.S. Geological Survey</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Address:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">384 Woods Hole Rd.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <noscript>Javascript required to fix display for netscape browsers</noscript> </DIV> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>City:</B></FONT> Woods Hole</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>State or province:</B></FONT> MA</DT> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Postal code:</B></FONT> 02543-1598</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Country:</B></FONT> USA</DT> </DL> </DD> <BR /> <DT> <FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact voice telephone:</B></FONT> 508-548-8700 x2315</DT> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact facsimile telephone:</B></FONT> 508-457-2310</DT> <BR /><BR /><DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Contact electronic mail address:</B></FONT> seth.ackerman@state.ma.us</DT> <BR /><BR /></DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process step:</B></FONT></DT> <DD> <DL> <DIV> <DT><FONT color="#0000AA"><B>Process description:</B></FONT></DT> <PRE ID="original">Hillshaded in ArcMap v.9.1 (Spatial Analyst -&gt; Hillshade.
