Description:
Abstract:
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) into Maryland's Corsica River Estuary was investigated as part of a larger study to determine the importance of nutrient delivery to Chesapeake Bay via this pathway. Resource managers are concerned about nutrients that are entering the estuary via submarine groundwater discharge from this primarily agricultural watershed that may be contributing to eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, and fish kills. An interdisciplinary U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) science team conducted field operations in the estuary in April and May 2007. Techniques used included continuous resistivity profiling (CRP), piezometer sampling, seepage meter measurements, and collection of a radon tracer time series. Better understanding of the style, locations, and rates of groundwater discharge could lead to improved models and mitigation strategies for estuarine nutrient over-enrichment in the Corsica River Estuary, and other similar settings. More information on the field work can be accessed from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage: <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07005/>
Purpose:
The purpose of these GPS files is to provide navigation with bathymetry to aid in the continuous resistivity profile (CRP) data processing. During original data acquisition, there were periods of time when no fathometer data was available. These files incorporate best available bathymetry data at the location of the navigation fix.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Each file went through the same process steps in the attempt to supplment the missing fathometer data. Some of the files had sparse bathymetry data, while others had no fathometer data at all.
Completeness_Report:
These files represent the attempt to fill in all bathymetry gaps in the original GPP/fathometer data acquisition. The lines needing the supplmental data are L12F1, L24F1, L24F2, L25F1, L26F1, L27F1, and L28F1.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The navigation system used was a Lowrance 480M with an LGC-2000 Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. The antenna was located at the anchor point for the resistivity streamer, which is also directly above the fathometer transducer mount point. The GPS system is published to be accurate to within 10 meters.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The vertical accuracy of these files is a function of several factors. First of all is the accuracy of the original bathymetry dataset from which the depth values were extracted. And second is the offset applied to this bathymetry value to essentially add in the tidal component. Specific tide values were not acquired, but rather the grid bathymetry values were compared to actual valid fathometer reading to estimate and offset. These factors combine to detract from the vertical accuracy, making it probably more than 1 meter.

Source_Information:
Source_Contribution:
The continuous resistivity profile (CRP) system used on this cruise was an AGI SuperSting marine system described at the website: www.agiusa.com/marinesystem.shtml. The particular system used for this acquisition was a 50-m streamer with an 11 electrode array with electrodes spaced 5 meters apart. The source electrodes are graphite, while the receiver electrodes are stainless steel. A dipole-dipole configuration was used for the data collection in which two fixed current electrodes are assigned with the measurement of voltage potential between electrode pairs in the remaining electrodes. The maximum depth below the water surface the streamer can reach is approximately ¼ the streamer length. So for the 50-m streamer, maximum depth is about 12.5 meters. Each line of data acquisition records several files. The two files necessary for processing are the *.stg and the *.gps file. The STG file contains the resistivity data, while the GPS file contains the navigation information. The navigation system used in concert with the CRP system is a Lowrance LMS-480M with an LGC-2000 GPS antenna and a 200 kHz fathometer transducer. The transducer also contains a temperature sensor. Lowrance indicates the speed of sound used by the system is 4800 feet/second. Both the temperature and depth information are recorded in the logged GPS file. There are instances where no depth or temperature information is recorded due to an equipment problem. The CRP system images the subsurface electrical properties of an estuarine, riverine or lacustrine environment. Resistivity differences can be attributed to subsurface geology (conductive vs less conductive layers) and hydrogeologic conditions with fresh water exhibiting high resistivity and saline conditions showing low resistivity.

Using ArcCatalog 9.2 copied the point shapefile day1gpsclean.shp to day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp. The shapefile day1gpsclean.shp is equivalent to resgpspnts_jd135.shp prior to the addition of more attributes. This process step, as well as all subsequent process steps were performed by VeeAnn A. Cross. To see the processes that were used to generate the day1gpsclean.shp file, see the metadata for resgpspnts_jd135.shp.

Within ArcMap 9.2, used a USGS Wood Hole toolbar called VACExtras v2.1 to extract the depths from a grid at point locations in a point shapefile. The tool used was VACExtras - Raster - Extract Depth. The input grid was combelev with the results going to day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp and placed in a new attribute "grdinfo".

Process_Description:
The bathymetry grid is a combined elevation dataset in which the bathymetric values take into account tides. The fathometer associated with the CPR system does not make tidal corrections. For processing the CRP data, it's the "uncorrected" depths that are needed. The most accurate way to do this would be to take out the tide component from the bathymetry grid. However, tide stations in the immediate area of the survey location and time were not available. So a less accurate, but simpler approach was tried. In the shapefile day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp, a new attribute was added called "diff" as a floating point attribute. In the original shapefile, the attribute containing fathometer data is "depth_m". Because "depth_m" is positive and the information in grdinfo is negative (from the bathymetry grid), I use field calculator with the following equation: diff = DEPTH_M + grdinfo My idea is that over the time frame of a single line of data collection, the difference between the measured depth (DEPTH_M) and the tide corrected depth (from the grid in grdinfo) should be a fairly straightforward offset. The lines that are missing depth values usually have at least one point with a depth value. That value can be used as the baseline and verify that information with the previous (or next) line acquired closest in time.

Within ArcMap 9.2, used a USGS Wood Hole toolbar called VACExtras v2.1 to extract the depths from a grid at point locations in a point shapefile. The tool used was VACExtras - Raster - Extract Depth. The input grid was big3_nad83 with the results going to day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp and placed in a new attribute "estdepth". The grid used in this case is from the NOAAEstuarine Bathymetry dataset from Chesapeake Bay. This gridded dataset is part of the combined elevation dataset. In the combined dataset, interpolation and smoothing modified the values somewhat. By extracting data from both grids, I'll be able to choose the most viable source.

Because "depth_m" is positive and the information in estdepth is negative (from the estuarine bathymetry grid), I use field calculator with the following equation: diff2 = DEPTH_M + estdepth I added another attribute to the shapefile called "pos_est" and defined the value as a float. Used field calculator on this field to perform the following calculation: pos_est = estdepth * -1. This has the effect of converting the depth value extracted from the estuarine bathymetry to a positive number.

In looking at day one of data collection, I tookk the pos_est attribute and added 0.5 to calculate the predicted value. This was done in ArcMap 9.2 with the pred_val attribute selected in day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp and the following calculation used by the field calculator: pred_val = pos_est + 0.5. The value of 0.5 was derived by looking aththe last couple of depth values in L11F1 and seeing the offset between the measured fathometer values and the extracted estuaryine bathymetry values.

These values seem reasonable for L12F1. Within ArcMap 9.2, in the attribute table of day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp I selected all the records for L12F1. Then used XTools Pro (v 5.2) - Table Operations - Export Table to Text. I used day1gpsclean_moredepth.shp as the input feature layer, chose the option to use selected features, and only selected the pred_val attribute for export, and exported to the output file L12F1_bathy.txt. For the encoding method, I used ANSI (Windows charset). This selection is important because I'm going to use AWK scripts for reformatting, and AWK prefers the ANSI text format.

As with the first day of processing, I added several values to the attribute table within ArcMap 9.2. The following attributes were added as floating point attributes: diff2, pos_est, and pred_val. The field calculator was used on each field with the following equations:
diff2 = depth_m + estdepth
pos_est = estdepth * -1
The equation for the pred_val attribute varied depending on the line of data.
for L24 the equation was pred_val = estdepth + 0.2
L25, pred_val = estdepth + 0.3
L26, pred_val = estdepth + 0.4
L27, pred_val = estdepth + 0.5
L28, pred_val - estdepth + 0.6
Based on the other information in the file, the assumption was that the tide was rising.
