Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/F74F1PNH Description: Abstract: The Sandy Hook artificial reef, located on the sea floor offshore of Sandy Hook, New Jersey was built to create habitat for marine life. The reef was created by the placement of heavy materials on the sea floor; ninety-five percent of the material in the Sandy Hook reef is rock. In 2000, the U.S. Geological Survey surveyed the area using a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echosounder mounted on the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) ship Frederick G. Creed. The purpose of this multibeam survey, done in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers when the Creed was in the New York region in April 2000, was to map the bathymetry and backscatter intensity of the sea floor in the area of the Sandy Hook artificial reef. The collected data from this cruise are bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and navigation trackline. Purpose: The bathymetry shows the shape of the sea floor. Of particular interest are the changes in water depth associated with the artificial reef. Supplemental_Information: Other datasets from the 2000 survey of the Sandy Hook artificial reef may be found in Butman and others (2017) (see larger work citation).

Some features in the multibeam data are artifacts of data collection and environmental conditions. They include small highs and lows and unnatural-looking features, and patterns oriented parallel or perpendicular to survey tracklines. The orientation of the tracklines is sometimes identified by parallel stripes in the data. During data acquisition, the electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM) within the transceiver that controls the beam launch angles was programmed with incorrect parameters for the outer ten beams on the port and starboard sides. This caused depth soundings to be deeper for these outer beams by approximately 0.1 m; these deeper depths were corrected post-acquisition by a SwathEd program called dehump, which pulls up the outer beams. There are some anomalies in water depth, of unknown origin, visible along portions of track line 2116 (water appears too deep by about 0.5 m) and trackline 2124 (water appears too shallow by about 0.4 m). Completeness_Report: All data from the multibeam survey of the Sandy Hook artificial reef are included in the mosaic. There are a few gaps in the image due to incomplete coverage by the multibeam system. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These data were navigated with a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS); they are accurate to +/- 3 meters, horizontally. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These data have been corrected for vessel motion (roll, pitch, heave, yaw). The theoretical vertical resolution of the Simrad EM-1000 multibeam echosounder is 1% of water depth, approximately 0.2 m within the study area. The soundings were also corrected for tidal fluctuations using the ADCIRC tidal model. The model produces harmonic constituents and a mean component relative to the NAVD88 datum. Correcting survey water levels using ADCIRC-predicted water levels are thus relative to NAVD88 datum. Deviation from the NAVD88 datum will be due errors in the ADCIRC correction, other fluctuations in sea level during the survey, and deviation of mean sea level from NAVD88 due to ocean dynamics.

Creed. The multibeam system utilizes 60 electronically-aimed receive beams spaced at intervals of 2.5 degrees that insonify a strip of sea floor up to 7.5 times the water depth. The horizontal resolution of the beam on the sea floor is approximately 10% of the water depth. Vertical resolution is approximately 1% of the water depth. Data were collected along tracklines spaced 5-7 times the water depth apart at a speed of 10-14 knots. The Sandy Hook artificial reef area was surveyed in a Zamboni pattern (for efficient turns at high speed) with lines running north-south. The Zamboni pattern yields blocks of northward-run lines adjacent to blocks of southward-run lines. The frequency of the sonar was 95 kHz. Sound velocity profiles were obtained and input into the Simrad processing system to correct for refraction. Navigation was by means of differential GPS. Operation of the Simrad EM1000 was carried out by hydrographers of the Canadian Hydrographic Service. The data were collected on Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity 2000-015-FA (https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fa=2000-015-FA). Process_Step: Process_Description: Processing of the data at sea was carried out by USGS personnel with assistance from the Ocean Mapping Group at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), Canada. A suite of processing software, called SwathEd, developed by the Ocean Mapping Group was used to process, edit, and archive the bathymetric soundings. These routines are designed to be run on a Unix and/or Linux operating system. The processing and editing steps carried out on board the ship were: 1. Demultiplex (unravel) the Simrad data files using RT to generate separate files for a given raw file (filename.raw_all) containing navigation (filename.nav), depth soundings (filename.merged), backscatter intensity values (filename.merged_ssdata), acquisition parameters (filename.param) sound velocity at the transducer (filename.sv_tdcr) and sound velocity profiler information (filename.svp). Command line: RT -packdown -background -WRITE -em1000 -CnC -prefix RawFiles/ -suffix _raw.all -out ProcessedFiles/InputFilenamePrefix InputFilenamePrefix 2. Edit the navigation data on-screen using the SwathEd routine jview to remove undesirable points, including turns at the ends of survey lines. Jview also rejects stray GPS fixes outside of the survey area, as set by the operator. Command line: jview -rejectnav -navedit filename.nav 3. Make a copy of the edited navigation, and then create a new navigation file that has the bad fixes deleted from it. Command line: mv filename.nav filename.nav_all Command line: appendNav -goodonly -comp filename.nav filename.nav_all 4. Merge the edited navigation back into the file containing the depth soundings using just the prefix of the filename. The location of the antenna relative to the motion reference unit is also entered here, along with a maximum time gap (in seconds) allowed between navigation fixes. Command line: mergeNav -ahead 5.379 -right 3.851 -below 4.244 -time_limit 300 filename 5. Edit the multibeam soundings for each trackline. SwathEd displays blocks of data across and along the trackline. Anomalous points were identified by comparison to other points and by an understanding of the sea floor geology and morphology. Anomalous soundings were removed.

The weigh_grid program creates a DTM by summing up the weighted contributions of all the provided data into the DTM. The weighted contributions only extend to a user defined region around the true location of the estimate (the cutoff). The weight of an individual point contribution decays away from the node location based on the order of the Butterworth (inverse weighting) filter (-power n), the width of the flat topped radius of the weighting function (-lambda n.n), and the absolute cutoff limit (-cutoff) that will be used for data points contributing to a node. In addition, each beam/other value can be pre-weighted if required to account for its reliability. A custom weight file for each beam is created by hand and input into the weigh_grid program using the -custom_weight option. Three files are created which are used by the weigh_grid program. An ".r4" file, which contains the grid node values in binary format, an "r4_weights" file, and an "r4_weight_depth" file. To do the summing of the weights, the .r4_weights file contains the sums of the weights for each data point contributing to the node, and the .r4_weight_depth file contains the sum of the weights x the depths. The solution is: weight_depth/weights for each node. First a blank binary grid and the weights and weight_depth files must be created (user specifies bounds of map sheet, floating point or integer, cell size) : Command line: make_blank -float gridFile This command commences a dialog to input the map boundaries and resolution. The program also prompts for the projection type and parameters to be used creating the binary map file (custom Mercator projection, central longitude of -75 degrees, latitude of true scale 40 degrees north). The next command creates the weights and weight_depth files associated with the binary grid: Command line: tor4 gridFile These two steps create all three files with a gridFile prefix. Next, each individual data file (.merged suffix) is added to the grid using weigh_grid. The grid of the Sandy Hook reef data was created with a grid node spacing of 2 meters, a cutoff radius of 6 meters, and an inner radius to the weighting function of 2 meters: Command line: weigh_grid -omg -tide -coeffs -mindep -2 -maxdep -800 -beam_mask -beam_weight -custom_weight EM1000_Weights -butter -power 2 -cutoff 6 -lambda 2 gridFile filename.merged Process_Date: 2017 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Organization_Primary: Contact_Organization: U.S. Geological Survey Contact_Person: William W.

Steps included: 1. Correct errors in soundings due to sound refraction, caused by variations in sound velocity profile, using the SwathEd refraction tool. These artifacts can be recognized in a cross-swath profile of a relatively flat patch of sea floor. When viewing the swath data across a profile, the sea floor will appear to have a "frown" or "smile" when in fact the data should be flat across the profile. Insufficient and/or erroneous sound velocity information, which is usually due to widely spaced or non-existent velocity profiles within an area, results in an under or over-estimate of water depth which increases with distance from the center of the swath. For a discussion of how this effect can be recognized in a swath bathymetric data file, see < http://www.omg.unb.ca/AAAS/UNB_Seafloor_Mapping.html>. 2. Remove erroneous soundings that were not edited in the field using the SwathEd program. 3. The measured elevations were adjusted for tidal fluctuations by subtracting tidal elevations and mean sea level predicted by the ADCIRC tidal model (Westerink and others 1994; Luettich and Westerink, 1995; see cross reference). A MATLAB script was used to interpolate the ADCIRC constituents along the ship track and then calculate the tidal elevation and mean sea level at the time of the survey. The vertical datum of the ADCIRC correction is NAVD88. Using the adjusted tidal elevations, create a binary tide file to be using in merging the tidal heights with the bathymetric soundings. Command line: binTide -year YYYY asciiTideFile BinaryTideFile The program mergeTide brings the swath soundings to NAVD88. Command line (tides): mergeTide -tide BinaryTideFile filename.merged 4. Correct outer beams for depth offset caused by error in EEPROM programming (see Logical Consistency Report) Command line: deHump -depscale 0.0105 filename.merged 5.

The soundings were corrected for tidal fluctuations using the ADCIRC tidal model. The model produces harmonic constituents and a mean component relative to the NAVD88 datum. Correcting survey water levels using ADCIRC-predicted water levels are thus relative to NAVD88 datum. Deviation from the NAVD88 datum will be due errors in the ADCIRC correction, other fluctuations in sea level during the survey, and deviation of mean sea level from NAVD88 due to ocean dynamics. Depth is reported as negative altitude. Range is -7 m to -20 m.
