Description:
Abstract:
Bathymetric Terrain Models (BTMs) of seafloor morphology are an important component of marine geological investigations. Advances in acquisition and processing technologies of bathymetry data have facilitated the creation of high-resolution bathymetric surfaces that approach the resolution of those available for onshore investigations. These BTMs provide a detailed representation of the Earth's subaqueous surface and when combined with other geophysical and geologic datasets, allow for interpretation of modern and ancient geologic processes.
Purpose:
The purpose of this polygon shapefile is to delineate the extent of each survey that contributed to the final BTM.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Polygon boundaries are generated from 100 meter resolution bathymetric surface in CARIS Base Editor (v. 4.0-4.1.14) prior to interpolation to fill small holes in the base surface. Therefore, this shapefile may have holes or "no data" values within the boundaries of the shapefile that represent these "no data" values in the source surface. These holes were subsequently filled in the grid using interpolation in CARIS or filtering in ArcMap (v.10.3.1).
Completeness_Report:
The individual polygons only delineate the extent of bathymetric data used to compile the bathymetric terrain model and may not include all the data collected during the individual survey.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Step 1: The extents of each surface (contributor) are used as input during the combine process in CARIS Base Editor and is transferred to a new feature layer and eventually exported as an Esri shapefile. Within CARIS Base Editor (v. 4.0- 4.1.14, Software was updated as new versions were available over the course of this project) select the "Create" a "new feature layer" from the main menu and use the spatial extent of the combined surface and name the new feature layer.The general naming convention for the output shapefile is output name= "VesselName+Cont" (example= OECont for OkeanosExplorer and Cont for Contributor). Select the new feature layer and then export to a shapefile using the "export selection to shp" from the File menu. Attributes carried over during this process include the "Inform" field which is the location and name of the input .csar file
