- Abstract:
-
The USGS, in cooperation with NOAA, is producing detailed maps of the seafloor off southern New England. The current phase of this cooperative research program is directed toward analyzing how bathymetric relief relates to the distribution of sedimentary environments and benthic communities. As part of this program, digital terrain models (DTMs) from bathymetry collected as part of NOAA's hydrographic charting activities are converted into ESRI raster grids and imagery, verified with bottom sampling and photography, and used to produce interpretations of seabed geology and hydrodynamic processes. Although each of the 7 continuous-coverage, completed surveys individually provides important benthic environmental information, many applications require a geographically broader perspective. For example, the usefulness of individual surveys is limited for the planning and construction of cross-Sound infrastructure, such as cables and pipelines, or for the testing of regional circulation models. To address this need, we integrated the 7 contiguous multibeam bathymetric DTMs into one dataset that covers much of Block Island Sound. The new dataset is adjusted to mean lower low water, is provided in UTM Zone 19 NAD83 and geographic WGS84 projections, and is gridded to 4-m resolution. This resolution is adequate for seafloor-feature and process interpretation, but small enough to be queried and manipulated with standard GIS programs and to allow for future growth. Natural features visible in the grid include boulder lag deposits of submerged moraines, sand-wave fields, and scour depressions that reflect the strength of the oscillating tidal currents. Bedform asymmetry allows interpretations of net sediment transport. Together the merged data reveal a larger, more continuous perspective of bathymetric topography than previously available, providing a fundamental framework for research and resource management activities off this portion of the Rhode Island coast. 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://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-006-FA>
- Purpose:
-
To release interpretations of bottom features based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA surveys H12009, H12010, H12011, H12015, H12033, H12137, and H12139 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS survey 2011-006-FA in Block Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system.

The geographic GeoTIFF image of the multibeam data from NOAA surveys H12009, H12010, H12011, H12015, H12033, H12137, and H12139 and the point data layers from grain-size analyses of sediments and bottom photography collected from USGS survey 2011-006-FA in Block Island Sound were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Bottom features were interpreted based on geomorphology of the bathymetry, bottom photography, and textural analyses. The individually interpreted features (storm-induced scour, sand waves and megaripples (bedforms), boulders, and shipwrecks) were outlined using the available graphic tools then converted to an ESRI shapefile using ArcView 3.3.

ArcGIS 9.2 was used to remove overlaps (all polygons with a specific FEATURE attribute value were combined using the Merge command, working from the topmost attribute layer the overlap was removed using the Clip command, and then the merged polygons were exploded to recreate the original individual polygons without overlaps) and extraneous "slivers."
