These data are supplied to provide the raw navigation collected by an Ashtech Z-Extreme receiver and logged using HYPACK, Inc. navigation software (www.hypack.com). RTK navigation was not incorporated to any of the geophysical systems during data acquisition. These data were stored in order to post-process the RTK navigation to provide improved vertical and horizontal accuracies for the swath bathymetric data. RTK provides accuracies on the order of 10s of centimeters (<http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/>).

A DGPS antenna, connected to an Ashtech Z-Xtreme receiver, was attached at the center of the rigid horizontal pole used to mount the Octopus F180R Attitude and Positioning system antennas. The DGPS navigation was used to record horizontal position during data acquisition.
DGPS navigation was used to record horizontal and vertical position (x,y,z) of bathymetric soundings during data acquisition aboard the USGS R/V Rafael. An additional DGPS antenna, connected to an Ashtech Z-Xtreme receiver, was attached at the center of the rigid horizontal pole used to mount the Octopus F180R Attitude and Positioning system antennas. Real Time Kinematic GPS (RTK-GPS) corrections were applied to the Ashtech Z-Xtreme navigation data during post-processing in order to provide sub-meter vertical accuracy for bathymetric soundings. Fort Gratiot, MI, a Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) (<http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/CORS/>), was used as the reference station for the RTK-GPS corrections. A rover RTK-GPS station was established at the tidal benchmark at the U.S. Coast Guard Base at Port Huron in order to determine the offset between North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) (vertical datum referenced at the CORS site) and the International Great Lakes Datum 1985 (IGLD 85) referenced at the tidal benchmark. The following offsets were applied to the shipboard DGPS data during post-processing: vertical offset between NAVD 88 and IGLD 85, the measured distance between the DGPS antenna and SWATHplus transducer, and the depth of the transducer below the water line. The resulting values were applied to the bathymetric soundings during processing to provide a measure of depth relative to IGLD 85.
