Description:
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 data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a framework for research and management activities along southern Narragansett Bay, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During September 2014, 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, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Narragansett Bay. For more information on the ground-truth survey see <http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-046-FA>.
Purpose:
To release a grid of the 1-m bathymetry generated from NOAA survey H12324 in Narragansett Bay in UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

Logical_Consistency_Report:
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Completeness_Report:
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
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 original bathymetry data is approximately 0.5% of the water depth. Depths are corrected for tides.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Multibeam-echosounder (MBES) data were collected aboard the 30-foot NOAA Survey Vessel S3002, using a hull-mounted Kongsberg Simrad EM3002. This system has a 130-degree swath width and a maximum ping rate of 40 Hz. Positioning was determined by differential global positioning system (DGPS) which received corrections from Acushnet, Massachusetts. Water levels are mean lower low water and were corrected for tides using National Water Level Observation Network stations in Newport, Rhode Island, and Quonset Point, R.I. MBES data were processed (tide correction, merging with navigation data, TPU calculation, data cleaning, and CUBE BASE surface creation) using Computer Aided Resource Information System (CARIS) Hydrographic Information Processing System (HIPS) software. Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) files were uploaded to the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). Vertical datum is mean lower low water; X and Y units are meters; UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

Process_Description:
BAG files of 1-m, 2-m, and 4-m resolution (1-m resolution covers 0-20 m depth, 2-m resolution covers 18-40 m depth, and 4-m resolution covers 36-80 m depth) were opened in Global Mapper v. 14.1 and an ArcASCII Grid was exported with 1-m resolution (this supersamples the data collected at 2- and 4-m resolution, it does not improve the resolution), to preserve the high-resolution of shallow areas. The default value for resolution (just shy of 1 m) was used. Overlap between different resolutions gives priority to the deeper dataset. This process step and all subsequent steps were performed by the same person, Katherine McMullen.
