- Description:

- Abstract:
- Nearshore areas within Long Island Sound are of great
interest to the Connecticut and New York research and management
communities because of their ecological, recreational, and commercial
importance. However, although advances in multibeam echosounder
technology permit the construction of detailed digital terrain models
of seafloor topography within deeper waters, limitations inherent with
collecting multibeam data make using this technology in shallower
waters (<10-m deep) more difficult and expensive. These limitations
have often resulted in gaps of no data between multibeam bathymetric
datasets and the adjacent shoreline. To address this problem,
complete-coverage multibeam bathymetry acquired offshore of New London
and Niantic Bay, Connecticut, has been integrated with hydrographic
LIDAR acquired along the nearshore. The result is a more continuous
seafloor perspective and a much smaller gap between the digital
bathymetric data and the shoreline. These datasets are provided as ESRI
grid and GeoTIFF formats in order to facilitate access, compatibility,
and utility.
- Purpose:
- To release an outline of the combined multibeam and LIDAR
bathymetry data generated during NOAA surveys H11441 and H11224 in the
vicinity of New London, offshore Connecticut, in geographic, WGS84.

aided navigation system. Real-time positioning during LIDAR acquisition
was obtained by an Ashtech GG24 GPS receiver combined with Thales
GeoSolutions Wide Area DGPS. Ashtech Z12 GPS receivers, provided as
part of the Airborne System and Ground Systems, also logged GPS data on
the aircraft and at a locally established base station to provide post
processed KGPS position solutions.
