Projection = UTM, zone 10 in meters Horizontal Datum = NAD83 (NSRS2007) Vertical Datum = MLLW, all units in meters. Three separate bathymetric surveys were conducted: the first (USGS Field Activity ID: S-2-10-SF) from January 13-15, 2010, the second (USGS Field Activity ID: S-18-10-SF) from September 11-13, 2010, and the third (USGS Field Activity ID: S-24-10-SF) on December 3, 2010. The combined bathymetric surveys consist of 220 survey lines covering an area of approximately 3.1 square km in waters depths ranging from about 1.0 m to -5.0 m NAVD88. The surveys extend east from Calaveras Point along Coyote Creek to the railroad bridge, along Alviso Slough to the town of Alviso (just over 7 km), and along the 3.7 km of Guadalupe Slough closest to the bay. The bathymetry grid was resampled to 2m resolution and merged with a bare earth DEM generated from aerial topographic lidar collected by the USGS in 2010 and converted to the vertical datum of MLLW using conversions provided by CO-OPS in Foxgrover et al (2007). The resulatant DEM includes elevations of the intertidal flats and is clipped to the approximate shoreline extent. Purpose: To establish pre-restoration baseline bathymetry as part of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project (http://www.southbayrestoration.org).

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPEG Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: This bathymetric data has not been independently verified for accuracy. Logical_Consistency_Report: All bathymetric values are derived from the same instruments and processing workflow. Completeness_Report: The raw bathymetry data was filtered in SEA Swath Processor and imported into CARIS HIPS and SIPS for post-processing. Within CARIS a swath angle BASE (Bathymetric with Associated Statistical Error) surface was created at 1 m resolution and the subset editor used to manually eliminate any remaining outliers or artifacts. The average depth within each 1 by 1 m cell was exported as an ASCII text file and imported into Surfer for interpolation using a linear kriging algorithm with a 1-simga nugget of 0.05 m and a 5 by 5 m search radius. The resultant grid was exported to ESRI ArcMap software for display and merging with topographic lidar data. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Uncertainty in the horizontal position of each sounding is a function of the total uncertainty propagated through each of the following component instruments: 1) base station GPS, 2) vessel GPS, 3) intertial motion unit (IMU), 4) water sound velocity model, and 5) beam spreading in the water column. Assuming no systematic errors in the measurement instruments themselves, beam spreading is the dominate source of positional uncertainty. The 1-degree sonar beam of the SWATHplus-M results in horizontal uncertainty ranging from 0.10 m at 10 m slant range, to about 0.45 m at 50 m slant range. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: After filtering the data to remove obvious outliers, the standard deviation of the remaining sounding elevations was calculated for each 1 m by 1 m cell (each containing 19 soundings on average) in CARIS. The mean of the standard deviation for all cells in the survey is 0.05 m and 97% of the cells in the data set have a standard deviation of less than 0.15 m. Additional uncertainity associated with the vertical datum conversion from NAVD88 to MLLW has not been assessed.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Sonar Data Collection The bathymetric surveys were conducted using a 234.5 kHz SEA (Systems Engineering & Assessment Ltd) SWATHplus-M phase-differencing sidescan sonar. The sonar was pole-mounted on the 34-foot USGS mapping vessel R/V Parke Snavely, and affixed to a hull brace. Real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS position data were passed through a CodaOctopus F180 intertial measurement unit (IMU) to the sonar hardware and data collection software. Sonar heads, GPS antennae, and the IMU were surveyed in place to a common reference frame with a Geodimeter 640 Total Station. The R/V Snavely was outfitted with three networked workstations and a navigation computer for use by the captain and survey crew for data collection and initial processing. Process_Date: 2010 Process_Step: Process_Description: Geodetic Control Geodetic control for the survey was established using a shore based Global Positioning System (GPS) base station broadcasting Real Time Kinematic (RTK) corrections to the survey vessel via UHF radio link. The base station was located at Moffett Naval Air Station, on a pre-existing benchmark identified as ARC 34. The NGS lists this monument as PID DG6881 (See Appendix A in report for NGS Datasheet). GPS base station coordinates: Reference Frame: NAD83 (NSRS2007) Epoch Date: 2007.00 Latitude: N 37 degrees 25' 34.57880" Longitude: W 122 degrees 02' 05.53373" Orthometric Height: 1.280 m (NAVD88 height modernization project elevation) Process_Date: 2010 Process_Step: Process_Description: Vessel Position and Attitude The R/V Snavely was equipped with a CodaOctopus F180 attitude and positioning system for the duration of the survey. The F180 is running F190 firmware, and receives real-time kinematic (RTK) corrections directly. The RTK GPS data (2 cm error ellipse) are combined with the inertial motion measurements directly within the F190 hardware so that high-precision position and attitude corrections are fed in real-time to the sonar acquisition equipment. The NAD83 (NSRS2007) Epoch 20007.00 3-dimensional reference frame was used for all data acquisition. Process_Date: 2010 Process_Step: Process_Description: Sound Velocity Measurements Sound velocity measurements were collected continuously with an Applied Micro Systems Micro SV deployed on the transducer frame for real-time sound velocity adjustments at the transducer-water interface. The Micro SV is accurate to +/- 0.03 m/s. In addition, sound velocity profiles (SVP) were collected with an Applied Micro Systems, SvPlus 3472. This instrument provides time-of-flight sound-velocity measurements by using invar rods with a sound-velocity accuracy of +/- 0.06 m/s, pressure measured by a semiconductor bridge strain gauge to an accuracy of 0.15 percent (Full Scale) and temperature measured by thermistor to an accuracy of 0.05 degrees Celsius (Applied Microsystems Ltd., 2005). Process_Date: 2010 Process_Step: Process_Description: Sonar Sounding Processing GPS data and measurements of vessel motion are combined in the F180 hardware to produce a high-precision vessel attitude packet. This packet is transmitted to the Swath Processor acquisition software in real-time and combined with instantaneous sound velocity measurements at the transducer head before each ping. Up to 20 pings per second are transmitted with each ping consisting of 2048 samples per side (port and starboard). The returned samples are projected to the seafloor using a ray-tracing algorithm working with the previously measured sound velocity profiles in SEA Swath Processor (version 3.05.18.04). A series of statistical filters are applied to the raw samples that isolate the seafloor returns from other uninteresting targets in the water column. Finally, the processed data is stored line-by-line in both raw (.sxr) and processed (.sxp) trackline files. Processed (.sxp) files were further processed with sxpegn (build 151) by Amy Foxgrover (USGS) to remove erroneous data from the files and make valid gain-normalized amplitude data for processing backscatter data. Process_Date: 2011 Process_Step: Process_Description: Bathymetry Digital Elevation Model Production The raw bathymetry data was filtered in SEA Swath Processor and imported into CARIS HIPS and SIPS for post-processing. Within CARIS a swath angle BASE (Bathymetric with Associated Statistical Error) surface was created at 1 m resolution and the subset editor used to manually eliminate any remaining outliers or artifacts. The average depth within each 1 by 1 m cell was exported as an ASCII text file and imported into Surfer for interpolation using a linear kriging algorithm with a 1-simga nugget of 0.05 m and a 5 by 5 m search radius. The resultant grid was exported to ESRI ArcMap software for display and merging with topographic lidar data. Process_Date: 20110701 Process_Step: Process_Description: Topo/Bathy Digital Elevation Model Production Within ArcMap the bathymetry grid was resampled to 2 m resolution using a bilinear interpolation to match the bare earth lidar DEM provided by the USGS. The bathymetry was then merged with the topographic lidar using the blend algorithm in the "Mosaic to New Raster" tool in Arc Toolbox and clipped to the approximate shoreline extent and converted to the vertical datum of MLLW using conversions provided by CO-OPS in Foxgrover et al (2007). The resultant DEM is provided at 2-m resolution with elevations relative to MLLW. The USGS aerial lidar was collected between June 11th and November 7th of 2010 using a Piper Navajo twin engine aircraft equipped with a 100 kHz Optech ALTM 3100EA lidar system. Acquisition was designed to support a nominal point spacing of 1 meter and collected at low tide to optimize coverage of the intertidal flats. Lidar data was processed by Dewberry to achieve a bare earth ground surface and provided as 2-m resolution hydro-flattened grids. When Dewberry compared the lidar to survey grade GPS points in generally flat, non-vegetated areas, the vertical accuracy of 95% of the positions had errors less than or equal to 18 cm (equivalent to a 9 cm RMSE if evenly distributed). The lidar is projected in UTM coordinate space, zone 10. The vertical datum is NAVD88 and the horizontal datum NAD83 (NSRS2007). For additional information on USGS's ARRA San Francisco Coastal Lidar project or to download the data directly, visit http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov/. The lidar was produced for the USGS according to specific project requirements. This information is provided "as is".
