Description:
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), has produced detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12012 offshore in the northeastern Sound, and during April 2010 and May 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Two interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder 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=2010-010-FA> and <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-015-FA>
Purpose:
The purpose of this dataset is to release the mid-resolution and full-resolution JPEG images of photographs of the sea floor acquired offshore in northeastern Long Island Sound, with a SEABOSS system during USGS survey 2010-015-FA conducted aboard the OSV Bold during May 2010. These photographs can be used to provide information on surface geology, sedimentary processes, and habitats.

Completeness_Report:
All images of the sea floor collected within the study area offshore in northeastern Long Island Sound, on cruise 2010-015-FA with the Mid-sized SEABOSS system are included. Total station numbers range from 012-1 to 012-25, but no photographs were acquired at stations 012-2, 012-7, 012-9, 012-12 (due to weather) and 012-6 (high turbidity prevented visibility). Not all of the photos collected on the cruise were collected within the study area.

The mid-sized SEABOSS was designed and built at the USGS Woods Hole Science Center. This system is equipped with two video cameras, a still camera, and a van Veen grab sampler. This system, weighing approximately 185 lbs, can be used to depths up to 40 meters. The multi-conductor electrical cable is manually deployed. The system also has a 50 Watt/second flash unit powered by 8 AA batteries. Two battery-powered lasers are set 15 cm apart for scale measurements. The red laser dots can usually be seen in the video depending on the bottom type and the distance to the sea floor. A third battery powered laser is positioned at an angle so that when it intersects the other lasers, the mid-sized SEABOSS is at the optimum height off the bottom for a still photograph. The camera is set to a manual focus and set to a default focus distance once the camera is powered up. The default focus distance is slightly less than the optimum height above the seafloor to account for optical distortion under water.

Process_Description:
The USGS mid-sized SEABOSS system was deployed to capture still photos and bottom video offshore in eastern Long Island Sound. This system was used to obtain video and 1 to 4 images at each station as the OSV Bold drifted over the seabed for 2 to 5 minutes. The video was collected with a Kongsberg Simrad model OE1365 video camera. The third laser on the system was set to an angle such that the optimum photograph height was 50 cm. The default focus on the camera was set to 50 cm. The imaged area is most often within .3 to 1 meter from left to right. Other camera settings are as follows: aperture is set at f/8; shutter speed is 1/250 second. A total of 64 acceptable still photographs of the sea floor, which were recorded on 35-mm film, were acquired at 20 stations within the study area with a Photosea 1000 stills camera. Although the images themselves have no georeferencing information, the navigation related to each photograph is available in an Esri formatted shapefile: h12012_botphotos.shp.

The full-resolution JPEG images (3615x2451 pixels) were downsampled using Photoshop CS2 to create JPEG images with 600 x 407 pixels. The filenames indicate the resolution. For instance, the full-resolution JPEG image - 012-1a_fr.jpg - was downsampled to produce mid-resolution JPEG image 012-1a_mr.jpg.
