Description:
Abstract:
Tidal zonation polygons generated by NOAA's Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) division in Silver Spring, MD for the 2005 South San Francisco Bay bathymetric survey.
Purpose:
Zones contain unique range and time correctors based upon specific tide gauges for referencing soundings to MLLW. Zones also contain values for converting bathymetric data between MLLW and NAVD88. Zones 51 and higher do not contain a conversion from MLLW to NAVD88 although it is estimated the conversion would be in the range of 1.8 to 2 feet (55-61 cm). Conversion values are given in both feet and centimeters. To convert from NAVD88 to MLLW add the MLLW2NAVD_CM attribute values to NAVD88 values in cm.

Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some ArcInfo-specific terminology.
