Abstract:
This part of DS 781 presents video observations from cruise Z206SC in southern California. The vector data file is included in "z206sc_video_observations.zip," which is accessible from https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/video_observations/data_catalog_video_observations.html.
Between 2006 and 2007, the seafloor in southern California was mapped by California State University, Monterey Bay, Seafloor Mapping Lab (CSUMB) and by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), using both multibeam echosounders and bathymetric sidescan sonar units. These mapping missions combined to collect bathymetry and acoustic-backscatter data from about the 10-m isobath to out beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California's State Waters. To validate the interpretations of sonar data in order to turn it into geologically and biologically useful information, the USGS ground-truth surveyed the data by towing camera sleds over specific locations throughout the region. During the 2008 ground-truth cruise, the camera sled housed two video cameras (one forward looking and the other vertical looking), a high-definition video camera, and an 8-megapixel digital still camera. The video was fed in real time to the research vessel, where USGS and NOAA scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor into programmable keypads once every minute. In addition to recording the seafloor characteristics, a digital still photograph was captured once every 30 seconds. This ArcGIS shape file includes the position of the camera, the time each observation was started, and the visual observations of geologic and biologic habitat.
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 USGS field activity from which these data were derived is available online at:

Process_Description:
The camera-sled tracklines were sited through video fed up to the research vessel in real time, where USGS and NOAA scientists recorded both the geologic and biologic character of the seafloor. While the camera was deployed, observations were recorded for a 10-second period once every minute. Onshore, the observation comma-delimited text file was converted to an ArcGIS shapefile.

Attribute_Label: CLASS
Attribute_Definition:
This seafloor-character class was produced using video-supervised maximum-likelihood classification of the bathymetry and backscatter (intensity of return) signals from sonar systems. Derivative roughness (rugosity) and backscatter intensity were used as variants in the classification. The substrate classes have been divided into the California Marine Life Protection Act depth zones mapped and slope classes in this area: Depth Zone 2 (intertidal to 30 meters), Depth Zone 3 (30 to 100 meters), Depth Zone 4 (greater than 100 meters), Slope Class 1 (0 to 5 degrees), Slope Class 2 (5 to 30 degrees), Slope Class 3 (30 to 60 degrees), and Slope Class 4 (60 to 90 degrees). Depth Zone 1 (intertidal) is not present in this map area (not included in this dataset).
