Description:

Abstract:

This data release provides a series of five bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of Suisun Bay, CA generated from single-beam hydrographic surveys collected from 1866 to 1990. The DEMs were constructed based upon historical United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and National Ocean Service (NOS) surveys collected in 1866, 1886, 1923, 1941, and 1990. Depth soundings from the pre-1930s surveys were manually digitized and georeferenced while the later surveys were obtained in digital format, and all information compiled into a geographic information system (GIS). Using surface modeling software, the soundings from each survey were supplemented with hand-drawn contours and shorelines obtained from topographic sheets to generate bathymetric DEMs at a horizontal resolution of 25 m. The bathymetric DEMs are provided in GeoTIFF format, vertically referenced to the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) tidal epoch referenced at the time of data collection.

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.

Process_Description:

All processes and methods used for developing the 1866, 1886, 1923, 1941, 1990 bathymetric DEMs are outlined in Cappiella and others (1999) and Jaffe and others (2007); please refer to that for more information beyond the summary in this document

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Jaffe and others (2007)
Process_Date: 2006

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Hydrographic sounding data downloaded for all time periods. Pre-1930s surveys were obtained as images of H-sheets that were geoferenced to NAD83 and the soundings manually digitized. Post-1930 soundings were downloaded in digital format (NOAA, 2024). The study area is covered by a compilation of hydrographic surveys that were generally conducted over the span of a few years. The year displayed with the DEMs provided is the year in which the majority of the study area 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 obtained from T-sheets and assigned an approximate MHW elevation of 1.34 m based upon nearby tide stations. The 1983 shoreline was modified based upon EcoAtlas data (San Francisco Estuary Institute, 1998).

Process_Date: 2006
Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: shorelines

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 to 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_Date: 2006
Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: contours

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

For each time period, soundings were combined with bathymetric contours and shoreline shapefiles and interpolated into continuous surface models with horizontal resolution of 25 m using ArcInfo's TopoGrid module (now Topo To Raster, Esri, 2024). 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. These grids supersede those used in Cappiella and others (1999) and have been improved through the application of consistent processing techniques throughout the entire San Francisco Bay and thousands of additional soundings added to the upated surface models that were missing from earlier analyses.

Process_Date: 2023
Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: TopoGrid DEMs

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 offset value. The 1866 grid was deepened by 12.6 cm, the 1886 grid by 8.3 cm, the 1923 grid by 11.8 cm, the 1941 grid by 13.5 cm, and the 1990 grid by 6.4 cm.

Interpolation bias-corrected DEM with elevation in meters, relative to the MLLW tidal epoch referenced at the time of survey collection. Since no previously established tidal epoch was available for the 1850s surveys, we have assumed that these surveys were referenced to MLLW during the months in which these surveys were collected. Positive values represent elevations above MLLW and negative represent values below. Cells with values of -3.4028231e+38 indicate No Data.
