Description:
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 sea floor 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 5 to 30 meters (m) deep. 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/). The geophysical data were collected during a survey in 2013 during USGS Field Activity 2013-003-FA (http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2013-003-FA) and cover approximately 185 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf.
Purpose:
These raw navigation data are provided as an archive of the navigation data files acquired during USGS survey 2013-003-FA south of Martha's Vineyard and north of Nantucket. Survey 2013-003-FA was conducted aboard the M/V Scarlet Isabella. HYPACK software (version 13.0.9.21) was used to log these data.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Please note that DEV 2 and DEV 3 are mislabeled in the header - (both are data from the Coda F185 and were unintentionally labeled as the F180 in the header of each HYPACK file).
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These are the original files recorded by the HYPACK navigation software. These data were checked but no modifications or corrections have been made to these files.
Completeness_Report:
These files represent all the navigation recorded by the HYPACK software during USGS survey 2013-003-FA south of Martha's Vineyard and north of Nantucket. The first survey line collected is associated with HYPACK file 959_2200.142, however several other HYPACK files from earlier on JD 142 were recorded during equipment calibration testing. Time gaps occurred during this field activity where no surveying was done due to bad weather, rough seas and stops in port for crew changes. Planned surveying was paused and no main survey line data were collected during these times:
JD143 15:20 - JD146 20:06 (no data were collected on JD144 or JD145)
JD149 15:40 - JD151 18:59 (no data were collected on JD150)
JD153 00:01 - JD153 14:32 
JD155 18:16 - JD156 02:06
JD158 06:12 - JD160 19:15 (no data were collected on JD159)

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) and Differential GPS (DGPS) navigation data were collected during survey 2013-003-FA using the Coda F185 RTK-GPS, Novatel DL-V3 RTK-GPS and the Hemisphere DGPS. Positioning data from all these sensors were logged using HYPACK navigation software version 13.0.9.21 (www.hypack.com). These data were incorporated into the geophysical data during acquisition and logged to these HYPACK files in the event that post-processing the horizontal and vertical positional information was necessary. The DGPS horizontal positional accuracy is estimated to be within 3-5 m and the accuracy of RTK-GPS is estimated to be less than 1 m.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Real-Time Kinematic GPS height data (referenced to the WGS 84 ellipsoid) were recorded using navigation software from HYPACK, Inc. (www.hypack.com). Vertical accuracy of RTK-GPS is estimated to be less than 1 m..

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Not all files contain the same HYPACK strings, but this list represents all the HYPACK strings represented in the files. These are the original files, no corrections have been made to these files. The times recorded in the navigation file are in UTC. The EC1 messages, although present in many of the HYPACK files, are invalid. Keywords and the information they provide are as follows:
FTP: The first record located at the top of the header used to identify the file format.

VER: HYPACK version number.

INF: General survey information filled in by the data technician. This typically contains the vessel name, agencies involved with the survey, and the location of the survey.

ELL: Ellipsoid information. The name of the ellipsoid followed by the semi-major axis in meters and the flattening ratio.

PRO: Project information record where TME indicates Transverse Mercator and the central meridian of -69 indicates UTM, zone 19N.

DTM: Datum transformation record.

GEO: Geoid model. Blank if not present. Note: During survey 2013-003-FA, GEOID09 grid #4 for CONUS (g2009u4.geo) was used. 

HVU: Horizontal and Vertical Units (meters).

TND: Survey time and date in UTC.

DEV [#]: [Insert data about cruise device #]

DEV 0: For survey 2013-003-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 0 are lines of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) collected with the Hemisphere DGPS.

DEV 1: For survey 2013-003-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 1 are lines of Real Time Kinematic GPS data collected with the Novatel GPS DL-V3 receiver.

DEV 2: For survey 2013-003-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 2 are lines of Real Time Kinematic GPS data collected from the Coda F185.  ***Note: this is mislabeled in the header as "F180".***

DEV 3: For survey 2013-003-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 3 are the NMEA string GPGGA lines of Real Time Kinematic GPS data collected from the Coda F185.  ***Note: this is mislabeled in the header as "F180_GGA".***

DEV 4: No good data for survey 2013-003-FA. No valid lines of data from Device 4 occur in these HYPACK navigation files. See EC1 note below. 

OFF: Device Offsets in the format: OFF dn n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6 n7, where dn = device number; n1 = starboard or port offset (positive starboard); n2 = forward or aft offset (positive forward); n3 = height (antenna) or depth (transducer draft) offset; n4 = yaw rotation angle (positive for clockwise rotation); n5 = roll rotation angle (port side up is positive); n6 = pitch rotation angle (bow up is positive); n7 = device latency in seconds.

PRD: Private Device Data, which has multiple formats depending on the type of device generating the data. For example, KTD is a Kinematic Tide Datum File. Note: VDatum transformation grid “MENHMAgome01_8301” was used for the kinematic tide correction process during 2013-003-FA to offset water level heights from the WGS84 ellipsoid to MLLW.

DDT: identifies the device that the computer clock is being synchronized to.

LIN 2: planned line data follows.

PTS: planned line waypoints (easting and northing, UTM, zone 19N, meters).

LBP: planned line begin point (easting and northing, UTM, zone 19N, meters).

LNN: planned line name.

USR: user information.

EOH: end of header.

The remaining elements have similar information in the first 3 columns. The first column will indicate the data type, the second column will indicate the device that recorded the information (0 for [Device 0] and 1 for [Device 1]) and the third column is the time tag (seconds past midnight) that is also sometimes referred to as the latency. The remaining information on each line is specific to the data type. Not all data types were recorded in each HYPACK file.

POS: Position of the ship in the format: POS dn t x y, where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); x=easting; y=northing. On this cruise these values are in UTM, Zone 19N, WGS84.

Position quality information in the format: QUA dn t n m h sat mode, where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); n=number of values to follow; m = 10 minus HDOP (horizontal dilution of precision); h=HDOP; sat=number of satellites; mode=GPS mode (NMEA 0183 standard values) where 0 = fix not available or invalid; 1 = GPS fix; 2 = Differential GPS fix; 3 = GPS PPS Mode fix; 4 = RTK fix; and 5 = RTK Float. The last 3 values are decoded from GST message: standard deviation of latitude error (meters); standard deviation of longitude error (meters); Standard deviation of semi-major axis of error ellipsis (meters).

RAW: Position information in the format: RAW dn t n lat long alt utc, where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); n=number of values to follow; lat=raw latitude in the format ddmmmm.mmmm. To convert to ddmm.mmmmm multiply by 100; long=raw longitude in the format ddmmmm.mmmm. To convert to ddmm.mmmmm multiply by 100; alt=antenna altitude above ellipsoid (meters); utc=GPS time in the format HHMM.

MSG: Message string in the format: MSG dn t message, where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); message is the message sent from the device. During survey 2013-003-FA there were several different messages were sent from the GPS systems: $GPGGA and $GPVTG were standard throughout the survey. These message strings will be defined below.

TID: Tide correction in the format: TID dn t dc, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), dc = draft correction.

EC1: Echo sounding (singe frequency) in the format: EC1 dn t rd, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), rd=raw depth.  Note: this message appears to be invalid throughout this survey as this was a dummy depth feed possibly used to plot survey history in the HYPACK real-time display.

GYR: Gyro data (heading) in the format: GYR dn t h, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), h=heading.

HCP: Heave Compensation in the format: HCP dn t h r p, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), h=heave in meters, r=roll in degrees (+ port side up), p=pitch in degrees (+ bow up).

FIX: events marked manually by the user in the format: FIX dn t event_number, where dn=device number (typically 
99 as there is no device for manual events); t=time tag (seconds past midnight); event_number=event number such as 1,2,3,4.

KTC: Describes how HYPACK records water levels (tide corrections) when using RTK in the format: KTC dn t nv eh lh u kval offset draft final, where dn = device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight, matches GPS position), nv=number of values, eh= WGS84ellipsoidal height (from GPS), lh= local ellipsoidal height (on local ellipsoid), u=undulation, kval= K value, offset= antenna offset, draft=draft correction, final=final tide.

$GPGGA is GPS fix data in the format: $GPGGA, t, lat, lath, long, longh, q, sat, h, a, M, alt, M, t2, refcheck, where t=time in UTC in the format hhmmss.ss; lat=latitude in the format ddmm.mmmmmm; lath= N or S indicating the latitude hemisphere; long=longitude in the format dddmm.mmmmmm; longh=E or W indicating the hemisphere; q=fix quality where 0=fix not available or invalid; 1=GPS fix; 2=Differential GPS fix; 3=GPS PPS Mode fix; 4=RTK fix; 5=RTK float; sat=number of satellites; h=Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP); a=Antenna altitude above mean sea level (geoid); M= units of antenna altitude in meters; alt=height of geoid above WGS84 ellipsoid; M=units of geoidal height in meters; t2=time since last DGPS update; refcheck=DGPS reference station id and the checksum.
Example: $GPGGA,160209.00,3806.336689,N,07505.875090,W,4,11,0.9,5.038,M,-36.840,M,1,0378*61 UTC Time = 160209.00 Latitude = 3806.336689 N Longitude = 07505.875090 W Fix Quality = 4 (indicates RTK) Number of satellites = 11 HDOP = 0.9 relative accuracy of horizontal position Altitude = 5.038 meters above mean sea level Height of geoid above WGS84 ellipsoid = -36.840 meters Time since last update = 01 Checksum = *61.

$GPVTG is track made good and ground speed in the format: $GPVTG, true, T, mag, M, grsp1, N, grsp2, K, mode, where t=true course made good over ground in degrees, T= True, m=magnetic course made good over ground in degrees, M=magnetic, grsp1=ground speed, N=Knots, grsp2=ground speed, K=Kilometers per hour, mode=Mode indicator (A=Autonomous, D=Differential, E=Estimated, N=Data not valid).
Example: $GPVTG,340.39,T,356.37,M,005.50,N,010.18,K,D*27 True course made good: 340.39 Magnetic course made good: 356.37 Ground speed (knots) = 5.5 Ground speed (kilometers) = 10.18 Mode=Differential.
