Description:

Abstract:

This data release provides a series of five bathymetric change grids generated from historical bathymetric surveys collected in south San Francisco Bay, CA from the 1858 to 2005. The National Ocean Service (NOS) and its predecessor, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, collected hydrographic surveys in 1858, 1898, 1931, 1956, and 1983 plus Sea Surveyor, Inc. collected a survey in 2005. Surface modeling software was used to generate bathymetric DEMs of each of these surveys. The bathymetric DEMs were then adjusted to account for gridding interpolation bias, changes in sea level through time, and ground subsidence that occurred in the Santa Clara Valley and lower South Bay from the 1930s to 1960s due to groundwater extraction. The adjusted DEMs for consecutive surveys were then differenced to reveal the amount of sediment erosion and deposition and changes from human activities (e.g., dredging and oyster shell mining) that occurred through time. These bathymetric change grids are provided here in GeoTIFF format with a horizontal resolution of 50 meters and can be used to quantify net sediment volume change and rates of change throughout the bay.

Purpose:

Analysis of historical bathymetric surveys enables us to reconstruct the surface of the bay floor through time and quantify spatial and temporal changes in deposition, erosion, and bathymetry over decadal timescales. These data provide insight on changes to San Francisco Bay in response to natural processes as well as anthropogenic activities and can inform numerous studies and applications such as sediment management practices, restoration projects, regional adaptation plans, contaminant transport research, and sea-level rise studies. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) or other software to identify changes in the depth of the bay floor through time. These data are not intended to be used for navigational purposes.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 2005bathy
Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Hydrographic sounding data downloaded for all time periods. Pre-1930s surveys were obtained as images of hydrographic sheets (H-sheets) that were then geoferenced to NAD83 and the soundings manually digitized. Post-1930 soundings were downloaded in digital format (NOAA, 2024). The 2005 soundings were downloaded in digital format from Jaffe and Foxgrover (2006). This study area is covered by multiple, smaller hydrographic surveys that were generally conducted over the span of one to three years. The year displayed with the DEMs provided is the year in which the majority of the South Bay was surveyed. However, the compilation of surveys covering the entire study area can span many years and end users are encouraged to view the original H-sheets and descriptive reports provided by NOAA (2024) for additional details.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Shorelines were digitized from T-sheets and assigned a spatially variable elevation value of MHW derived from nearby tide stations, ranging from 1.83 m in the north, to 2.8 m in the southernmost extent of the study area (Foxgrover and others, 2004). The 1858 and 2005 shorelines were modified base upon EcoAtlas data (San Francisco Estuary Institute, 1998).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Bathymetric contours were digitized from H-sheets or hand drawn as needed to help define the general morphology of the bay floor and constrain the gridding algorithm. To ensure realistic nearshore morphology in areas where soundings were not collected within close proximity to the shoreline, an additional contour was added parallel to the shoreline, 20 m within the bay and assigned an approximate elevation of mean tide level (MTL). Supplementary contours were manually added to the 1850's tidal flats where the original sounding values have been omitted from the H-sheets.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

For each time period, point soundings were combined with bathymetric contours and shoreline shapefiles and interpolated into continuous surface models using ArcInfo's TopoGrid module (now Topo To Raster, Esri, 2024). The 2005 GeoTIFF has a horizontal resolution of 25 m and all other time periods, a resolution of 50 m. The 2005 data was resampled to 50 m prior to generating bathymetric change grids. Bathymetry in tributary channels less than 3-cells wide were excluded because they could not be accurately modeled at the given resolution. Z-values are in meters relative to the MLLW tidal epoch referenced at the time of survey collection.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

An estimate of grid interpolation bias was estimated for each time period by comparing the value of each individual sounding to the cell value of the bathymetric grid at that specific location. Each bathymetric DEM was then adjusted to correct for interpolation bias by deepening the raster surface by the mean values presented in Table 6 of Foxgrover and others (2004). The 2005 survey has and interpolation bias of 0, so no correction was applied. Note that the grid bias values reported in Foxgrover and others (2004) were only included as part of the uncertainty assessment and those corrections were not incorporated into the volume change calculations in that same report. However, for consistency with other San Francisco Bay subembayments in this data release, grid bias corrections have been applied to the GeoTIFFs provided here.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Prior to generating bathymetric change DEMs for the 1931 to 1956 and 1956 to 1983 time periods, it was necessary to account for land subsidence that occurred within the southern extent of south San Francisco Bay as a result of excessive groundwater withdrawal from 1934 to 1967. Without correcting for subsidence, our grids of deposition and erosion would erroneously overestimate erosion during these time periods. The degree and spatial extent of subsidence documented in Poland and Ireland (1988) was applied to the 1931 to 1956 and 1956 to 1983 change grids following the methodology presented in Foxgrover and others (2004).

Process_Date: 2024
Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: Subside ADJ DEMs

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The last step, prior to generating change grids, was to adjust all of the DEMs to a common vertical datum to account for changing survey datums associated with fluctuations in sea level over the 147-year span of the surveys. All surveys were adjusted to the same tidal epoch as the 2005 survey, the 1983-2001 tidal epoch, by adjusting the 1858 survey by -15.8 cm, the 1898 survey by -5.5 cm, the 1931 by -10.3, the 1956 by -6.7 cm and the 1983 survey by -1.8 cm. A negative adjustment (or a deepening of bathymetry) accounts for an increase in the height of the reference tidal datum over time. Neglecting this adjustment, would make the later survey appear deeper than an identical sounding at the same location from the earlier survey, thereby falsely exaggerating the impression of erosion over time.
