- Abstract:
-
These data were collected under a cooperative mapping program between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (NOAA\CSC), and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The primary objectives of this program were to collect marine geophysical data to develop a suite of seafloor maps to better define the extent of oyster habitats, the overall seafloor geology of the bay and provide updated information for management of this resource. In addition to their value for management of the bay's oyster resources, the maps also provide a geologic framework for scientific research and the public
High-resolution bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic profile data were collected over 230 square kilometers of the floor of the bay. The study focused on the Apalachicola Bay and Western St. George Sound portions of the estuary mostly in depths > 2.0 meters.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this dataset is to produce a bathymetric hillshade grid from swath bathymetry that was collected within the survey boundary in St. George Sound and Apalachicola Bay.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
These data are a 25m ArcRaster Grid of Apalachicola Bay and St. George Sound generated from swath sounding gridded at 5m. Refer to processing steps under data quality section for detailed methods.

These data have not been quantitatively compared to previous hydrographic data, although they generally agree with qualitative comparison of published NOAA charts.
- Completeness_Report:
-
Soundings were gridded in OMG SwathEd software using the entire swath width across track to achieve maximum coverage at the scale of the entire Apalachicola Bay/St. George Sound survey area. Although the soundings were manually edited, small data spikes may exist at outer edges of swath.
Pockmark features that appear in the dredge channel of the intracoastal waterway fairways are artifacts of the of the processing methods used to generate a continuous surface from swath bathymetry collected on lines spaced 100m apart.

DGPS is assumed to be accurate within 1-2 meters. Standard GPS is assumed accurate within 5-10 meters. 99% of the positional data is DGPS. Unless noted, all GPS/DGPS data is referenced to WGS84 (NAD83). The configuration of the fathometer is as follows: The fathometer is mounted on a pole at the bow of the R/V RAFAEL. Offset between the fathometer pole and GPS antenna is measured. On ASV IRIS, the seismic profiler from which single-beam bathymetry measurements were collected was directly below the GPS antenna. No measurements were taken of ship's pitch, yaw, heave, or change in draft due to water and fuel usage. Motion of the fathometer is not measured. Horizontal accuracy of the fathometer is assumed to be within +/- 3 meters.

Ship motion was recorded with a TSS DMS 2-05 Attitude Sensor, mounted on a head above the interferometric Submetrix 2000 Series transducers. Navigation was recorded using Real Time Kinematic Differential Global Positioning System (RTK-DGPS). The interferometric sonar is an angle-measuring system; depth accuracy decreases with increasing horizontal range. The combined angular accuracy of the Submetrix 2000 Series and the TSS DMS 2-05 attitude sensor is documented as 0.1 degrees. Assuming a constant angular accuracy, and using the International Hydrographic Standard (IHO) of a required 0.3 meter accuracy in < 30 meter water depth, all data collected within the survey fall within the IHO accuracy standards. However, vertical accuracy is also directly affected by the accuracy of both the navigation system and tidal measurements. RTK DGPS vertical accuracy is assumed to be 0.2 meters. Tidal elevations were derived from RTK -DGPS heights sent from a survey-specific base station located on St. George Island.
The base station occupied a temporary monument. The x & y positions were calculated for that location using a 3 day average of 12 hour data sets using the Online Positioning User Service (OPUS, National Geodetic Survey) solution. Tidal elevations were calculated from NOAA Tidal Station #8728690 using the same OPUS solution and then applied to the corrected elevations for the base station at St. George Island. Antenna heights were referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) for easier comparison of NOAA nautical charts
