Abstract:
ArcInfo GRID format bathymetry data generated from the 2001 multibeam sonar survey the major deltas of southern Puget Sound, WA., including Nisqually, Puyallup, and Duwamish Deltas. This is meatadata for the Nisqually Delta multibeam bathymetry data.
Purpose:
A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck southern Puget Sound, Washington, USA on February 28, 2001 causing an estimated $0.7 billion to $1.4 billion in damages to the surrounding area. The epicenter was close to the Nisqually delta, one of three major deltas in southern Puget Sound. The Nisqually delta is a wildlife refuge but the other two deltas, the Duwamish delta in Seattle and the Puyallup delta in Tacoma, support extensive infrastructure, including major port facilities at the delta edges. Teams of geologists inspected the area immediately after the earthquake and reported liquefaction features and areas of vertical ground displacement in the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma as well as the presence of "mud plumes" in the waters of Puget Sound. A joint National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)/U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) cruise was rapidly assembled in March 2001 (3/19/01 to 3/30/01) to map the bathymetry of the delta fronts using the high-resolution multibeam systems of the NOAA Ship Rainier. The mapping discovered a variety of submarine failures on the Puyallup and Duwamish delta fronts that may be related to the earthquake. These data represent the multibeam-echosounder data collected during the survey and are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) or other software to display bathymetry data of the major deltas of southern Puget Sound, WA.

Process_Description:
The bathymetry data were collected along a continuous swath perpendicular to the direction of the ship using a Reson 8101, an Elac 1180, and an Elac 1050D multibeam sonar system. The data were cleaned of bad navigation and depth readings. The depth readings were gridded into a common grid. The gridded data were converted to ArcInfo GRID format using ArcInfo's ASCIIGRID command.
