- Abstract:
-
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetric and sidescan-sonar data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2012, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sidescan-sonar, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2012-002-FA>.
- Purpose:
-
To release a color shaded-relief GeoTIFF of the 2-m bathymetry generated from NOAA survey H12023 in Block Island Sound in geographic, WGS84 coordinates.

Navigation was by differential GPS using Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers (accurate to <1m). CARIS HIPS was used to process bathymetry data including correcting for vessel offset.
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
The vertical resolution of the bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Although there are no depth attributes associated with the GeoTIFF image, pixel values convey RGB values of individual cells. Warmer colors (e.g. red) are shallower depths; cooler colors are deeper.

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Bathymetric data were acquired in extended Triton data format (XTF) and recorded digitally through an ISIS data acquisition system. A RESON 7125, hull-mounted on the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and one 8.5-m launch and a RESON 8125 multibeam echosounder, mounted on another 8.5-m launch deployed from the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson, were used to acquire the sounding data. All positioning and attitude were determined with Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers and Applanix POS/MV Model 320 v.4 inertial navigation systems. The data were processed using CARIS HIPS (Hydrographic Image Processing System) software for quality control, and to incorporate sound velocity and tidal corrections. Sound velocity corrections were derived using frequent SEACAT CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) profiles. Typically, a CTD cast was conducted every three to four hours of multibeam acquisition. Tidal zone corrections were calculated from data acquired at the Newport, Rhode Island, New London, Connecticut, and Montauk, New York tidal gauges. The vertical resolution of the multibeam data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. The data were gridded to 2-m resolution and saved as a CARIS HIPS database. Vertical datum is mean lower low water; X and Y units are meters; UTM Zone 19, NAD83.

The H12023 CARIS HIPS base surface H12023_Combined_2m_CUBE_Deep_Final (fieldsheet H12023_Combined) was opened in CARIS HIPS/SIPS v7.0 and exported as a GeoTIFF image (24-bit, compressed format) using the CARIS HIPS Export Wizard. Sun illumination was from the north at 45 degrees above the horizon. Vertical exaggeration is 5x.
