- 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:
-
To release an interpretation of bottom features based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA survey H12012 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-010-FA and 2010-015-FA offshore in northeastern Long Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.

Ground condition, however, calendar date is for the bottom samples and photography. Multibeam bathymetry used in the interpretation were collected during 20090418 to 20090430.
- Source_Contribution:
-
The original acoustic data (multibeam bathymetry) acquired during NOAA survey H12012 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and the portion of the sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-010-FA and 2010-015-FA that fall within the study area. Historical grain-size data used in the interpretation are from Poppe and others (1998).
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
GeoTIFF images of the multibeam bathymetry from survey H12012 and the point data layer from grain-size analyses and descriptions of sediments collected from this survey area, both those from this study and those from the historical data, were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Bottom features were interpreted based on geomorphology and relief in the bathymetry and on the bottom photography and textural analyses. The individually interpreted features (rocky, sand waves, megaripples, gravelly pavement, and dredge spoils) were outlined using the available graphic tools then converted to an Esri shapefile using ArcView 3.3. Polygons were traced and union and subtraction edits were conducted at scales of 1:3,500 to 1:5,500. Use of this interpretation datalayer is not recommended at scales of less than 1:24,000.
