Why was the data set created?

The Pacific Northwest is home to the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 1,300 km-long tectonic boundary between the Juan de Fuca and Gorda oceanic plates to the west and the North America continental plate to the east. The interface between upper and lower plates is defined by a large fault, called a megathrust, as well as numerous smaller faults that cut through the surrounding crust. Over time, frictional stresses accumulate along these faults, building slowly until they exceed the fault's strength, resulting in an earthquake. Evidence of these strong earthquakes may be found in Pacific Northwest lakes. Past underwater landslides caused by the earthquakes should be well preserved in these relatively undisturbed environments. The lake floor of Ozette Lake in the Pacific Northwest was mapped to find such evidence of past earthquakes. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify bathymetric features. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
    Date: 2022 (process 1 of 1)
    The data were collected with a SWATHplus-M 234-kHz interferometric side-scan sonar system pole-mounted on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) R/V San Lorenzo. During the mapping mission, an Applanix POS-MV (Position and Orientation System for Marine Vessels) was used to position the vessel during data collection, and it also accounted for vessel motion such as heave, pitch, and roll. The POS-MV also recorded position and vessel motion parameters for later post-processing. Sound-velocity profiles were collected throughout the survey days with a Castaway sound velocimeter. Post-processed POS-MV Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory (SBET) files were merged with the survey line files using BathySwath software and then the line files were imported into SonarWiz software. Soundings were cleaned for obvious errors and gridded into a 2-m base surface. The base surface was exported as an Erdas Imagine file in UTM-10, WGS-84 coordinates vertically referenced to the WGS84 ellipsoid. NOAA's on-line VDATUM transformation tool states there is a +22.94m difference between WGS-84 and NAVD-88 elevations (vertical uncertainty of 0.06m) at a point in the center of the lake. A value of 22.94 was added to the original bathymetry grid to transform from WGS-84 elevations to NAVD-88 elevations. The NAVD-88 bathymetry grid was then exported as a geoTIFF file in UTM zone 10, NAD-83(2011) coordinates, relative to NAVD88.
  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?
    The SWATHPlus sonar system's (234 kHz) depth accuracy reduces with horizontal range. The system has an estimated vertical depth uncertainty ranging from about 0.05 m to 0.34 m over a horizontal range of 0 to 90 m (http://www.bathyswath.com/sites/default/files/documents/ETD_2002_Bathyswath%20information_EN.pdf). Accuracies of final products may be lower due to total propagated uncertainties of the mapping systems, which include sonar system, position and motion compensation system, and navigation, as well as data processing that includes sounding cleaning, gridding, and datum transformations.
  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
    The Applanix POS-MV post-processed horizontal positional accuracy is about 0.1 m with roll and pitch accuracies of about 0.02 degrees (https://www.applanix.com/downloads/products/specs/posmv/POS-MV-WaveMaster-II.pdf). The SWATHPlus sonar system (234 kHz) has an across track resolution of about 5 cm (http://www.bathyswath.com/sites/default/files/documents/ETD_2002_Bathyswath%20information_EN.pdf). Accuracies of final products may be lower due to total propagated uncertainties of the mapping systems, which include sonar system, position and motion compensation system, and navigation, as well as data processing that includes sounding cleaning, gridding, and datum transformations. A standard deviation grid calculated from the bathymetry data is included in the data release.
  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
    The Applanix POS-MV post-processed vertical positional accuracy is about 0.2 m (https://www.applanix.com/downloads/products/specs/posmv/POS-MV-WaveMaster-II.pdf). The SWATHPlus sonar system (234 kHz) has a measurement resolution limit of about 0.6 cm and a resolution detection limit of about 3 mm (http://www.bathyswath.com/sites/default/files/documents/ETD_2002_Bathyswath%20information_EN.pdf). Accuracies of final products may be lower due to total propagated uncertainties of the mapping systems, which include sonar system, position and motion compensation system, and navigation, as well as data processing that includes sounding cleaning, gridding, and datum transformations.
  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
    Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
    No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted
