- Abstract:
-
These data were collected in a collaboration between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The primary objective of this program was to collect baseline bathymetry for Muskeget Channel, Massachusetts, and identify areas of morphologic change within and around the channel. Repeat surveys in select areas were collected one month apart to monitor change. These data were collected to support an assessment of the effect on sediment transport that a tidal instream energy conversion facility would have within Muskeget Channel. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor topography are important first steps in monitoring bedform migration, fish habitat, marine resources, and environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The data include high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, and navigation data. These data were collected during two surveys between October 2010 and November 2011 onboard the research vessel (RV) Rafael using an SEA Ltd. SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kilohertz). More information about the cruise can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity Web page at <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-072-FA>
- Purpose:
-
This hillshaded-relief image represents approximately 13 square km of bathymetric data that were collected in 2010. These data are used to define the seafloor morphology surrounding the sand shoals and potential cable routes in the vicinity of Muskeget Channel, MA. This grid provides a representation of the seafloor as it was collected in October 2010.

Interferometric bathymetry collected during the first survey of 2010-072-FA were used to create this image. Data from the second survey (on 20101119), which reoccupied lines from the first survey, were not included. Data from the second survey are contained in a separate file.

The navigation for these data was acquired with a Coda Octopus F180 Differential Global Positioning System + Wide Area Augmentation System (DGPS+WAAS); they are accurate to + or - 1 to 2 meters, horizontally. All DGPS data are referenced to WGS 84, and vertical distance between the pole-mounted interferometric sonar head, 0.5m below the sea surface, and the DGPS antenna located on the same pole on the bow of the R/V Rafael, 2.5 m above the sea surface, are corrected.

- Process_Description:
-
The 2-m tide corrected Esri grid (survey1_2m) was used to generate a hillshade in ArcMap (version 9.3.1) using spatial analyst -- surface analysis -- hillshade. The Azimuth was 20, the altitude was 45, and the Z factor was 2. The resulting Esri grid was converted to a GeoTIFF by right-clicking in the Table of Contents and selecting Data - Export Data and choosing TIFF as the output. A .tfw (TIFF world file) was created by running the Export Raster World File tool in ArcGIS 9.3.1
