- Abstract:
-
These data were collected under a cooperative agreement between the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of seafloor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 2-30 meters. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (<http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html>). The data collected in this study area are located in both Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound and are primarily in the shallow water areas around the eastern Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The data include high resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, seismic-reflection profiles, and navigation data. These data were collected during several cruises between 2007 and 2011 onboard the R/V Rafael using the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, a boomer source and Geometrics 8-channel GeoEel streamer, a Knudsen 3200 subbottom profiling system, and 4 GPS antennae. More information about the cruises conducted as part of the project: Geologic Mapping of the Seafloor Offshore of Massachusetts can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpages: <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-013-FA> <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-068-FA> <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2007-039-FA><http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-100-FA><http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-047-FA>
- Purpose:
-
This dataset is used to display the locations of sound velocity profiles collected during USGS cruises within Vineyard Sounds and Buzzards Bay, MA. The information contained within the sound velocity profiles is needed to adequately account for refraction artifacts that may be present within raw swath bathymetric data. This dataset contains hyperlinks to graphs of the sound velocity profile at each station location, as well as location in easting and northing (UTM, Zone 19N, WGS 84, meters), time of day and date.

All sound velocity profiles were acquired with the same instrument; an Applied Microsystems SV plus v2.
- Completeness_Report:
-
All sound velocity profiles not associated with the patch test collected during cruises 2011-013-FA and 2009-068-FA are included in this Esri shapefile. For cruise 2007-039-FA, only data from JD 309 and JD341 were needed to complete the bathymetry coverage over middle ground. JD 304 and JD 305 were excluded from this report because the data were redundant and ran for swath system comparison tests.

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation data were acquired with a Communications Systems International (CSI), Inc. LGBX Pro receiver and recorded with HYPACK (www.hypack.com). The CSI received positions from a DGPS antenna located on the port, aft roof of the R/V Rafael cabin. Ship location was used for the sound velocity deployments. The SV plus v2 sound velocity profiler was hand deployed. Once the system reached bottom, positions were read from HYPACK and stored. DGPS accuracy is 1 to 3 meters, depending on the distance from a US Coast Guard coastal repeater station. However, offsets from the location of hand-deployment and the DGPS antenna were not measured, and the ship is allowed to drift during deployment which can last several minutes depending on water depth. The horizontal accuracy of the sound velocity locations is considered to be +/- 50 meters.
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
-
Water depth of the sound velocity profiles is recorded from the fathometer when GPS location of profile is recorded. Assumed vertical accuracy of the shipboard fathometer on the R/V Rafael is about .25 meters. However, vessel drift druing SVP deployment and recovery could add an additional meters of change in water depth. Water depth should be considered an approximation of water depth at the location of SVP deployment.

Middle Ground data were collected on 20071105, 20071207, and 20090922. Survey 2011-013-FA was conducted 20110802 to 20110831. Data were not collected on 20110807, 20110812-20110815, 20110821, and 20110825-20110829 due to weather.
- Source_Contribution:
-
Sound velocity profiles are acquired in order to measure the speed of sound in the water column during survey operations. This information is used to help correct any refraction artifacts that may be present within the swath bathymetric data due to unaccounted for changes in the speed of sound throughout the water column.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Profiles were collected at least once during each survey day, and multiple times per day when the data suggested significant stratification within the water column. Sound velocity casts were collected using an Applied Microsystems SV Plus v2 instrument (see <http://www.appliedmicrosystems.com/products/productDetails.aspx?id=1> for details).
At each station, the SV plus 2 was hand deployed and slowly lowered to the seafloor. The SV plus v2 was monitored by a member of the science party and as the instrument made contact with the seafloor, the position (i.e. location) and depth (based on fathaometer) was recorded in the lab using HYPACK navigation software. The position was then manually recorded within the cruise log and SWATHplus acquisition software. Upon recovery, the SV plus was connected to an onboard computer via serial port in order to download data using the SV plus v2 communications software, SmartTalk.

The location of each sound velocity profiles in eastings and northings (UTM, Zone 19N, meters, WGS 84) was saved to a comma-separated value file (*.csv) along with station number, water depth at station, julian day and time, and survey id.
The comma-separated text file was then imported to ArcMap 9.3 using 'Add XY data' and saved as points (UTM WGS 84 Zone 19N) in the Esri shapefile format. The shapefile was then projected from WGS 84 UTM Zone 19N to Geographic WGS 84.
