Description:
Abstract:
Apalachicola Bay and St. George Sound contain the largest oyster fishery in Florida, and the growth and distribution of the numerous oyster reefs here are the combined product of modern estuarine conditions and the late Holocene evolution of the bay. A suite of geophysical data and cores were collected during a cooperative study by the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center, and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve to refine the geology of the bay floor as well as the bay's Holocene stratigraphy. Sidescan-sonar imagery, bathymetry, high-resolution seismic profiles, and cores show that oyster reefs occupy the crests of sandy shoals that range from 1 to 7 kilometers in length, while most of the remainder of the bay floor is covered by mud. The sandy shoals are the surficial expression of broader sand deposits associated with deltas that advanced southward into the bay between 6,400 and 4,400 years before present. The seismic and core data indicate that the extent of oyster reefs was greatest between 2,400 and 1,200 years before present and has decreased since then due to the continued input of mud to the bay by the Apalachicola River. The association of oyster reefs with the middle to late Holocene sandy delta deposits indicates that the present distribution of oyster beds is controlled in part by the geologic evolution of the estuary. For more information on the surveys involved in this project, see <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2005-001-FA> and <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2006-001-FA>.
Purpose:
This shapefile contains the start and end shots, as well as every 1000th shot of the IRIS chirp data. These shot points aid the relation of the seismic-reflection profiles to other GIS data available in the same area.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All of the data were handled in the same manner. All processed lines have a start shot, end shot, and every 1000th shot in between. Inconsistencies exist in the file naming convention for individual seismic data collection lines. Because the filenames reflect the original data file names acquired in the field, they were left alone.
Completeness_Report:
No data were acquired on the following dates: 6/8/2006, 6/10/2006 6/12/2006, 6/13/2006, 6/15/2006, 6/16/2006, 6/17/2006, 6/18/2006, 6/19/2006, 6/20/2006. These dates correspond to Julian days 159, 161, 163, 164, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, and 171 respectively. In addition, lines for which no valid seismic data were available, or extremely short lines, were deleted. Some lines acquired seismic data, but little or no navigation. These lines are also excluded. One line was re-run, so the original problematic line was excluded. The list of collected seismic lines excluded from this and subsequent datasets is as follows: Julian day 155 - apalachicola000 (rerun), apalachicola020 (too short), apalachicola027 (insufficient navigation). Julian day 160 - day160001 (insufficient navigation). Julian day 165 - day165001 (too short). Julian day 172 - JD172010 (too short), JD172014 (too short), JD172025 (too short). Julian day 173 - JD173009 (too short). Julian day 174 - JD174010 (too short).
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
IRIS was navigated with a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS, with the GPS antenna mounted directly over the seismic transducer. This system can provide positions to within 0.1 meters. However, due to some errors with the acquisition software, this accuracy is reduced. The accuracy is approximately 2 m given the constraints of the acquisition system.
Lineage:
Source_Information:
Source_Contribution:
The data were collected using the USGS WHCMSC Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) IRIS. This system is designed to operate in shallow water (1-5 meters). IRIS is a catamaran platform 3 meters in length, 1.2 meters in width, and approximately 118 kilograms. The vehicle is operated remotely through a wireless modem network enabling real-time monitoring of data acquisition. The system is navigated using a ZXW RTK augmented GPS system enclosed on a platform in the middle of the catamaran. An enclosed onboard micro-processor-based motor controller provides signals for speed and steering to hull-mounted brushless direct-current thrusters. A center-mounted keel encloses the chirp dual-frequency (100/400 kHz model 4200 EdgeTech) sidescan-sonar transducers and EdgeTech 424 chirp seismic-reflection hydrophones. Mounted in the port hull are the EdgeTech 424 chirp seismic-reflection transducer and a single-beam 235 kHz echosounder. A Sony IP based wireless video camera is installed on the mast of IRIS for the purpose of obstacle avoidance. An onboard Fluxgate magnetometer provides heading, heave, pitch, and roll. IRIS is powered by 2-4 24-volt NiMH batteries located in each hull and has an approximate run-time of five hours at 4 knots.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Seismic shot points at a regular interval can be extracted from a calibrated polyline-m seismic trackline. To do this, within ArcMap 9.2 hatches were created from the layer properties of the calibrated polyline. For Hatch Class, set the hatch interval to 1. Select the "Hatch Placement" button and check to start hatching at a value other than the lowest measure - start hatching at 0. Hatch definition (1000) - place hatches every 1000 hatch intervals using a marker symbol. Add Hatch Definition - add end hatch definition. For HatchDef(End) set the hatch to a marker, tolerance 0, and lateral offset 0. For this work there seemed to be a problem with a couple of the lines in terms of generating the start hatch. I was unable to figure out the problem and will just have to copy over shot one from the point shapefile at the end of the procedure. The affected lines are: asv06_JD175000, asv06_JD176001, asv06_JD176003 and asv06_day165005. This process step as well as all subsequent process steps was performed by the same person - VeeAnn A. Cross.

Process_Description:
With all the hatches drawn, use the "convert hatches to graphics tool". This tool does not appear automatically and must manually be added to the toolbar. To do this, from the ArcMap (v. 9.2) menu Tools - Customize. Select the Commands tab. In the categories listing, scroll down to Linear Referencing and select "Convert Hatches to Graphics..." and drag and drop to an existing toolbar in ArcMap. Then click on this button. In the pop-up menu, select All feature in the layer, select the appropriate Hatch Class. Leave the default to draw only the converted graphics.

Process_Description:
Then within ArcMap 9.2 use XTools Pro version 5.2 to convert the graphics to a shapefile. Feature conversions - Graphics to Shapes. Output: asv_1000shot_gra and automatically add feature class to current map. Do not add ID field and do not add TEXT field.

Process_Description:
Additionally, I want to carry over some of the other information from the original point shapefile such as year, jday, and filename. Add the field "year" and use field calculator to set all the record values to 2006. Add the additional fields "jday" and "filename". To populate these fields, join this point shapefile to the asv_lines shapefile based on the lmarkname attribute. Select to join attributes from a table, field to base the join on in both tables - lmarkname. With the tables joined, can use field calculator to copy over the appropriate values. Then deleted the unnecessary fields generated during the locate features procedure - distance and ID.
