Description:
Abstract:
High-resolution acoustic backscatter data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in May of 2014 southwest of Chenega Island, Alaska. Data were collected aboard the Alaska Department of Fish and Game vessel, R/V Solstice, during USGS field activity 2014-622-FA, using a pole mounted 100-kHz Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder.
Purpose:
This work was funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Hazards and Resources Program (CMHRP) Marine Geohazards Project and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG). The high-resolution bathymetry of bedrock, sediment deposits, and tectonic structure provide geologic information that is essential to hazard assessment, regional sediment management, and coastal and marine spatial planning at Federal, State, and local levels, as well as to future research on the geomorphic, sedimentary, tectonic, and climatic record of southeastern Alaska. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and the general public.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of the Reson acoustic-backscatter data is unknown since it is believed the backscatter is uncalibrated. Also, during post-processing, the backscatter data from all repeat mapping surveys were gain normalized together so the backscatter data in this report differ from the original individual surveys' data.
Logical_Consistency_Report: No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted.
Completeness_Report:
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.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The stated accuracy of the Applanix POS-MV post-processed horizontal position is about 0.1 m, with roll and pitch stated accuracies of about 0.02 degrees (https://www.applanix.com/downloads/products/specs/posmv/POS-MV-WaveMaster-II.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.

Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
In 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) mapped offshore the southwest corner of Chenega Island and near Chenega Alaska. A 100-kHz Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder was pole-mounted to the ADFG R/V Solstice, and an Applanix POS-MV (Position and Orientation System for Marine Vessels) was used to position the vessel during data collection where 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. Soundings were corrected real-time using inputs from the POS-MV and corrected for water column sound velocity variations using sound velocity values calculated from CTD casts. In 2019, the Reson 7111 S7K line files were downloaded from USGS archives and imported into SonarWiz processing software (version 6). The S7K line files were processed for backscatter and gridded into 10-m resolution grids. The grids were exported as Erdas Imagine files in UTM, zone 6, WGS84 coordinates. The grids were imported in ESRI ArcMap and converted to geoTIFFs.
