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:
The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 103 bottom photographs collected at 21 stations based on topographic data of the sea floor in Narragansett Bay. The photos were collected with a Van Veen grab sampler modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 2014-046-FA, in September 2014.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All attributes were checked in a consistent manner.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data.
Completeness_Report:
Locations of all still photographs of the sea floor in the Narragansett Bay H12324 study area collected during the R/V RAFAEL cruise 2014-046 were included in this dataset. Other photographs were collected during cruise 2014-046 that lie outside the study area. Navigation was not saved in Hypack files during the time two pictures were taken (324-21a and 324-21b), however the navigation was recorded on video and was obtained from video for these two locations.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Navigation was by differential GPS. Although GPS gave the ship's position rather than that of the SEABOSS, water depths were generally shallow and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 10 m. The time on the camera was synchronized with GPS and verified by comparing the time in the Exif header with a photograph of the written GPS time. A one-second offset was found between the camera and GPS time, however this is well within the navigation error and was not corrected.

Process_Description:
Time recorded in Exif headers of the photographs was matched with navigation data and manually entered into an Excel spreadsheet (2010 version, but saved as an Excel 97-2003 Worksheet) and other fields were added and populated. Navigation was not saved in Hypack files during the time two pictures were taken (324-21a and 324-21b), however the navigation was recorded on video and was obtained from video for these two locations.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Data layer attributes include date and position photograph was acquired; station and photograph identifiers. The naming convention for photographs is a 3-number location identification (324, referring to NOAA Survey H12324 in Narragansett Bay), dash, the station number, and a letter of the photograph at that station (multiple photos are often taken at a single location), an underscore, and the resolution of the photograph if it is not full resolution (mr for medium resolution, and tn for thumbnail). For instance, 324-14a_mr.jpg is a photograph from Survey H12324, station 14, photo a, medium resolution and is in JPEG format.
Medium resolution photographs can be hyperlinked in this shapefile. In order to effectively utilize this attribute in ArcGIS, the user must follow a couple of steps. First, the user must open the Layer Properties of the bottom photograph shapefile within ArcMap - select the Display tab - and click on the check box next to "Support Hyperlinks using field:" and the field selected from the dropdown menu needs to be "PHOTO_MR". The hyperlink is set to a document. Additionally, a hyperlink base must be supplied in the ArcMap document (mxd) to complete the full path to the images. This is accomplished from File - Document Properties. On the Summary tab there is a section for "Hyperlink base". The text supplied here needs to be the disk information preceding "data" in the full path to the image. If the data are being read from a DVD, this would be the drive letter such as F:\.
The Excel, shapefile, and comma-delimited text files have the same fields of information with the same headers as the shapefile attribute table.
