Description:

Abstract:

This part of DS 781 presents data for the transgressive contours for the depth-to-transition map of the Pigeon Point to Monterey, California, map region. The vector file is included in T "TransgressiveContours_PigeonPointToMonterey.zip," which is accessible from https://doi.org/10.5066/F7N29V0Z.
As part of the USGS's California State Waters Mapping Project, a 50-m grid of sediment thickness for the seafloor within the limit of California’s State Waters between Pigeon Point and southern Monterey Bay was generated from seismic-reflection data collected in 2009 and 2010 (USGS activities (S-15-10-NC, S-N1-09-MB, and S-06-11-MB) supplemented with outcrop and geologic structure from DS 781. The resulting grid covers was subtracted from regional bathymetry to determine the depth to the transitional surface. Contours at 5-meter intervals were derived from this grid.

Purpose:

These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. This information is not intended for navigational purposes.The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Data points are approximately 1 m apart along tracklines and 1000-2000 m apart between tracks. 50-m cell size for interpolation is better supported along track than between.

Logical_Consistency_Report: All vector geometry and attributes present.
Completeness_Report:

Sediment thickness data points exported from Seisworks profiling software were processed within the limit of California’s State Waters.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The chirp sonar instrument is deployed under the research vessel with about 10m of variation in position. The sparker position may vary as much as 20m from the navigation reference on the vessel.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Estimated to be approximately 1 m, along the track lines where data is well constrained, but may be much greater in areas where interpolation occurred.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Water bottom (seabed) and depth to base of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) horizons were digitized from seismic-reflection data using Seisworks software. The difference between the two horizons was exported from Seisworks for every shot point as XY coordinates (UTM Zone 10) and two-way travel time (TWT). The thickness was determined by applying a sound velocity to the TWT of 1,500 m/sec in water and 1,600 m/sec velocity in sediment, resulting in sediment thickness values.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

XY locations and sediment thickness values Z were imported to ArcGIS format as points and interpolated to a preliminary surface with TopoRaster from which isopachs (thickness contours) were extracted at 2.5 m intervals. Further refinement of this sediment thickness map and the isopach shapefile (see https://doi.org/10.5066/F7N29V0Z SedimentThickness_PigeonPointToMonterey.zip and Isopachs_PigeonPointToMonterey.zip) was accomplished through several iterations of manual editing to incorporate geology and fault information following the methodology of Wong (2012; see http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2012/1161/).
