Abstract:
An Ellipsoidally Referenced Survey (ERS) using two Teledyne Reson SeaBat T50-P multibeam echosounders, in dual-head configuration, was conducted by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) offshore of Seven Mile Island, New Jersey, September 6-8, 2018 and September 21-23, 2018. This dataset, presented as Seven_Mile_Island_2018_MBES_WGS84_UTM18N_xyz.zip and Seven_Mile_Island_2018_MBES_NAD83_NAVD88_GEOID12B_xyz.zip, includes the processed elevation point data (x,y,z), as derived from a 1-meter (m) bathymetric grid.
Purpose:
The purpose of the survey was to collect high density multibeam bathymetry data in the coastal area off of Seven Mile Island. Data were collected during USGS field activity number (FAN) 2018-323-FA. Additional survey and data details are available from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at,
https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2018-323-FA.
Supplemental_Information:
The processed sonar data are provided as American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) x,y,z point data files. These values are not the individual soundings, but nodes from a 1-m bathymetric grid. The Z value for the node is generated by utilizing a Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) surface and has an estimated total value of uncertainty (Calder and Wells, 2007). The bathymetry data were collected and processed in the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) vertical and horizontal datums and were subsequently transformed using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) VDatum version 3.9 (v.3.9) transformation software (
https://vdatum.noaa.gov/) horizontally to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83 [2011]) and vertically to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) relative to the GEOID model of 2012 (GEOID12B).
