Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During July-August 2008 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H11922 west of Gay Head, Massachusetts, in Rhode Island Sound and during July and September 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10033/ and http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10005/ Purpose: To release a 2-m color GeoTIFF of the multibeam bathymetry generated during NOAA survey H11922 in Rhode Island Sound west of Gay Head, Massachusetts in UTM Zone 19, NAD83.

Completeness_Report: All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal position of the ship and launches acquiring multibeam bathymetry were determined by differential GPS. Real-time original horizontal resolution of the MBES data was 0.5 m for depths less than 20 m and 2 m for the deeper areas; the final CARIS combined base surface for the MBES data were produced at a 2-m cell size. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Attitude of the vessels (e.g. pitch, roll, and heave) acquiring multibeam bathymetry were monitored by Applanix TSS POS/MV 320 Version 3 GPS aided navigation systems. The vertical resolution of the original bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Two 8.5-m aluminum Jensen launches and the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson were used to acquire the multibeam echosounder (MBES) bathymetric data for survey H11922 during July-August 2008 in Rhode Island Sound west of Gay Head, Massachusetts. The launch MBES data were collected with hull-mounted RESON SeaBat 240-kHz 8101 and 455-kHz 8125 shallow-water systems. These systems measure two-way sound travel time across a 150-degree swath and 120-degree swath, respectively. The SeaBat 8101 has 101 beams at a 1.5-degree beam spacing. The SeaBat 8125 has 240 beams with a cross-track beam width of 0.5 degrees at nadir. The ship's MBES data were collected with a RESON 7125 system which measured two-way sound travel time across a 140-degree swath. Original horizontal resolution of the MBES data was 0.5 m for depths less than 20 m and 2 m for the deeper areas. Vertical resolution of the MBES data is about 0.5% of the water depth. The bathymetric data were acquired in XTF (extended Triton data format) and processed by NOAA using CARIS HIPS (Hydrographic Image Processing System) software for quality control, to incorporate sound velocity and tidal corrections, and to produce the continuous digital terrain model. All positioning and attitude were determined with Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers and Applanix POS/MV Model 320 v.4 inertial navigation systems; HYPACK MAX was used for acquisition line navigation. Sound velocity corrections were derived using frequent SEACAT CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) profiles. Typically, a CTD cast was conducted every three to four hours of MBES acquisition. Tidal zone corrections were calculated from data acquired from National Water Level Observation stations at Newport, RI and Menemsha Harbor, MA. Vertical datum is mean lower low water. Individuals interested in detail descriptions of the MBES acquisition and processing should consult the descriptive reports. The data were gridded to 2-m resolution and saved as a CARIS HIPS/SIPS v6.1 SP2 database in UTM Zone 19, NAD83.
