Description:

Abstract:

This part of the Oregon Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Floating Windfarm Suite Data Release presents geological observations from video collected on U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) field activity 2014-607-FA in the Floating Wind Farm survey area. The survey was conducted using 12 hour day operations out of Charleston Harbor near Coos Bay, Oregon. The cruise plan consisted of 23 days on site split between sonar mapping and video ground truth surveying. Activities parsed out to nine days of sonar mapping, three days of video surveying, eight days of no operations due to weather, and three days mobilizing and demobilizing (table 1). Typically the Snavely would transit out to the survey area in an hour at a speed of 20 knots. Marine Mammal observations were made during the multibeam sonar mapping portion of the cruise only. Multibeam sonar operations were conducted on north or south oriented tracklines at a speed of 4 to 5 knots depending on sea state. Observations were also made on the transit out to the floating Windfarm site.

Purpose:

These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information about the field activity from which these data were derived is available online at: http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-607-FA

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Water proof camera is submerged and connected to GPS receiver at the surface with Red Hen Systems VMS 300 hardware. Georeferenced video and still photos are collected. Visual observations of variable unknown accuracy.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Point features present.
Completeness_Report:

Observation are from one minute intervals. Some gaps in observations exist due to technical problems or sediment dispersion covering the camera lens.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Highly variable on the order of 10 meters.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The camera sled tracklines were controlled by winch manipulation through video fed up to the research vessel in real time to maintain an altitude above the sea-floor bottom of approximately 1 meter. USGS scientists recorded the geologic character of the seafloor. While the camera was deployed, observations were recorded for a 10-second period once every minute. Back in the lab, the observation comma-delimited text file was converted to an ArcGIS shapefile.
