Contours are provided at 10-m intervals to a depth of 200 m and 100-m intervals to maximum depth. The data from which the contours were derived were hydrographic survey points published by NOAA NOS in 1998. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Project (see this and other older Monterey Bay USGS works archived at https://archive.usgs.gov/archive/sites/walrus.wr.usgs.gov/monterey/index.html. 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 about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in Esri format, this metadata file may include some Esri-specific terminology.

Degnan: extracted bathymetry data from NOAA (1998), gridded it in GMT (Wessel and Smith, 1998) with a 2-second grid spacing, and exported the grid values as ASCII xyz coordinates. Process_Date: 199911 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: nosbatc Process_Step: Process_Description: W.C. Lee: converted bathymetry xyz coordinates to ArcInfo point coverage. Created ArcInfo TIN from point coverage; converted TIN to 50-m grid (Arc: TINLATTICE, quintic option). Process_Date: 199912 Process_Step: Process_Description: F.L. Wong extracted contour coverage NOSBATC from 50-m grid of process date 199912 in 2 parts. Extracted grid with values greater than -300, generated contours at 10-m intervals, and removed contours landward of -10 m and seaward of -200 m. Extracted a second grid with values less than -100, generated contours at 100-m intervals, and removed contours landward of -200 m. Expanded value ranges were used in the extracted grids to produce continuous contours at the target cut-off elevation. Both sets of contours were combined as a new coverage NOSBATC. Process_Date: 200103 Process_Step: Process_Description: First draft of metadata created by F.L. Wong using a modified version of FGDCMETA.AML on ARC/INFO data set NOSBATC. Process_Date: 20010327 Process_Step: Process_Description: Edits were made to bring the metadata up to current PCMSC standards including standardizing authors' names, adding a doi# link, correcting typos, refining keywords, correcting missing and incomplete tags, and using current access and distribution liability statements. Point of Contact and Metadata Contact information sections were changed to static PCMSC contact information. No data were changed.
