Abstract:

As part of the Barrier Island Comprehensive Monitoring Program (BICM), scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted a nearshore single-beam bathymetry survey along the south-central coast of Louisiana, from Raccoon Point to Point Au Fer Island, in July 2015. The goal of the BICM program is to provide long-term data on Louisiana’s coastline and use this data to plan, design, evaluate, and maintain current and future barrier island restoration projects. The data described in this report will provide baseline bathymetric information for future research investigating island evolution, sediment transport, and recent and long term geomorphic change, and will support modeling of future changes in response to restoration and storm impacts. The survey area encompasses more than 300 square kilometers (km2) of nearshore environment from Raccoon Point to Point Au Fer Island. This data series serves as an archive of processed single-beam bathymetry data, collected from July 22–29, 2015, under USGS Field Activity Number 2015-320-FA. Geographic information system data products include a 200-meter-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid, trackline maps, and point data files.

Purpose:

This zip file contains ESRI trackline vector files for all single-beam bathymetry data collected from July 22-29, 2015 under Field Activity Number (FAN) (2015-320-FA), which encompasses data from four separate survey platforms; the R/V Sallenger (15BIM05), R/V Jabba Jaw (15BIM06), R/V Shark (15BIM07), and R/V Chum (15BIM08) apart of the July 2015 Point Au Fer Survey.

Supplemental_Information:

Trackline files were recorded at the time of the survey using HYPACK version 14.0.9.47 (15BIM05, 15BIM06) and 13.0.09.17 (15BIM07, 15BIM08) marine surveying, positioning, and navigation software. Within this document, all platforms will be distinguished by FAN (15BIM05-R/V Sallenger, 15BIM06-R/V Jabba Jaw, 15BIM07-R/V Shark, 15BIM08-R/V Chum) as separate but similar entities.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

An Ashtech GPS receiver on all survey platforms recorded the 12-channel full-carrier-phase positioning signals (L1/L2) from satellites via a Thales choke-ring antenna (15BIM05,15BIM06) and from smaller Global Ashtech Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) antennas (15BIM07, 15BM08). The manufacturer's stated accuracy of the post processed kinematic GPS data is +/- 1 centimeter (cm) in the Horizontal plane.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The survey tracklines do not include or represent vertical data.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Acquisition: The trackline positions for USGS Cruise 2015-320-FA were acquired using Ashtech Proflex GPS receiver units streaming position data to the hydrographic software, HYPACK®, a marine surveying, positioning, and navigation software package that managed planned line information and provided real-time navigation, steering, correction, data quality, and instrumentation-status information to the boat operator (HYPACK® version 14.0.9.47 for 15BIM05, 15BIM06 and version 13.0.09.17 for 15BIM07, 15BIM08 respectively). All platforms were equipped with Ashtech Proflex GPS receivers recording 12-channel full-carrier-phase positioning signals (L1/L2) from satellites via Thales Choke-ring antennas (15BIM05, 15BIM06) and smaller Ashtech Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) (15BIM07, 15BIM08). All navigation information was saved into a single raw data file (.raw) in HYPACK®, with each device string referenced by a device identification code and time stamped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Processing/Shapefile creation: The trackline vector file was created in Esri ArcGIS version 10.2.2.3552 using the XTools Pro extension, version 11.0 build 1328. The trackline shapefile was created from the x,y,z point data shapefile, using the "XTools" feature conversion tool, "make polylines from points". Within "XTools" feature conversion selection window, the following items were selected: The "group by field selection" was set to use the HYPACK line name attribute and the "input feature order - order by field" was set to use the FID attribute. The resultant polyline shapefile was then projected in WGS84 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 15 North.
