Description:
Abstract:
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an area of western Rhode Island Sound using sidescan-sonar imagery and bathymetry data collected aboard the NOAA Ship RUDE, as well as historic seismic records. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan-sonar mosaics and bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point measurements.
Purpose:
To release a geographic version of the 45-m ArcRaster bathymetry grid generated from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11322 in western Rhode Island Sound, Rhode Island

Original processed single-beam and shallow-water multibeam bathymetric data.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The multibeam data for this survey were acquired in XTF (extended Triton data format) and recorded digitally through an ISIS data acquisition system. An Odom Echotrac DF3200 MKII dual-beam echo sounder operating at 24 and 200 kHz acquired the bulk of the sounding data. In a few areas of interest, shallow-water multibeam echo-sounder data were acquired with a Reson SeaBat 8125 operating at 455 kHz. Once digitally recorded, the XTF data were processed using CARIS HIPS/SIPS software to quality control the data and to incorporate sound velocity and tidal corrections. Data were gridded to 1 m where collected. Because the data are primarily single-beam bathymetry, gaps exist between tracklines. Vertical datum is mean lower low water, X and Y units are meters, UTM zone 19, NAD83.

The ASCII grid was projected from UTM zone 19, NAD 83 to geographic (WGS 84), to be consistent with USGS Internet Map Server convention in this area, using transformation 1 and nearest neighbor resampling with ArcToolbox Project Raster in ArcGIS 9.2. The output is an ESRI binary grid.
