This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000001. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.

Horizontal position of the launches acquiring multibeam bathymetry were determined using GPS corrected by U.S. Coast Guard differential GPS beacon stations at Moriches, NY, Sandy Hook, NJ, and Acushnet, MA. Real-time positioning during LIDAR acquisition was obtained by an Ashtech GG24 GPS receiver combined with Thales GeoSolutions Wide Area DGPS. Original horizontal resolution of the MBES data was 0.5 - 2 m; original cell size of the gridded LIDAR data was primarily 4 m. The final CARIS combined base surfaces for the MBES data were produced at a 2-m cell size; final cell size of the gridded LIDAR data was 4 m.
This data layer shows the extent and location of the combined bathymetry data collected during NOAA surveys H11224, H11225, H11250, H11251, H11252, H11361, H11441, H11442, H11445, H11446, H11997, H11999, H12012, and H12013.
