This narrow estuary is the drainage for the Barnegat Bay watershed and flushed by just three inlets connecting it to the Atlantic Ocean, is experiencing degraded water quality, algal blooms, loss of seagrass, and increases in oxygen-depletion events. The scale of the estuary and the scope of the problems within it required a regional approach to understand and model water circulation within the bay and adjacent ocean. A continuous elevation surface (terrain model) integrating all available elevation data in the area was produced for the water circulation modeling efforts. Purpose: This grid provides a continuous elevation (bathymetry and elevation) surface for modeling the circulation of water within Barnegat Bay. The elevation values from this grid are extracted to the modeling domain (a non-rectilinear grid).

The sounding data from historical NOAA surveys (H05615, H05893, H05870, H02616) collected between 1934 and 1936 used survey methods (horizontal angles from shore station, and sounding pole/leadline) that preclude any attempt at vertical accuracy assessment for these data.

Downloaded historical survey data from NOAA/NOS collected between 1934 and 1962 as the only existing recorded depths within Barnegat Bay. These soundings were used in portions of the bay and Little Egg Inlet where newer data did not cover. Data were in horizontal coordinate system of NAD 83 with a vertical datum of Mean Low Water (MLW). Each survey was converted to a point shapefile using the context menu in ArcCatalog (v. 9.3.1) for editing to remove overlapping points. Each shapefile was edited to remove soundings in locations where they overlapped with newer data covered by either the EAARL-B Lidar, or SWATHplus interferometric data. Once the shapefiles were edited, they were combined into one shapefile (NOAAPtsMLW.shp) and then converted to a x,y.z text file (NOAAPtsMLW.txt). This combined file was projected to horizontal coordinate system of UTM 18, Zone 18, WGS 84, and vertical datum of NAVD88 using the Vertical Datum Transformation tool (VDatum, v. 2.3.3) produced by the National Geodetic Survey. The difference between MLW and NAVD88 is 0.071 meters. Portions of H05615, H08672, and H08220 were not within the VDatum model boundary. Those points falling outside the boundary were referenced to NAVD88 using this 0.071 meter offset.
