Abstract:

Water quality in the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor estuary along the New Jersey coast is the focus of a multidisciplinary research project begun in 2011 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This narrow estuary is the drainage for the Barnegat 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, seaweed, stinging nettles, and brown tide. The scale of the estuary and the scope of the problems within it necessitate a multidisciplinary approach that includes characterizing its physical characteristics (for example, depth, magnitude and direction of tidal currents, distribution of seafloor and subseafloor sediment) and modeling how the physical characteristics interact to affect the estuary's water quality. Scientists from USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program offices in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and St. Petersburg, Florida, began mapping the seafloor of the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor estuary in November 2011 and completed in September 2013. With funding from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and logistical support from the USGS New Jersey Water Science Center, they collected data with a suite of geophysical tools, including swath bathymetric sonar for measuring seafloor depth, a sidescan sonar for collecting acoustic-backscatter data (which provides information about seafloor texture and sediment type), and a subbottom profiler for imaging sediment layers beneath the floor of the estuary. 2011-041-FA: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-041-FA 2012-003-FA: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2012-003-FA 2013-014-FA: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2013-014-FA 2013-030-FA: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2013-030-FA

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Navigation was checked for consistency and any erroneous points were removed during processing. Duplicate names may exist for the "LineName" attribute; however a further query of the data by the "Survey" attribute will produce unique tracklines for each record in this spatial dataset.

Completeness_Report:

Navigation data from all survey lines processed in CARIS HIPS are included in this spatial dataset.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Two different navigation systems (DGPS and RTK) were used to record horizontal positions of the bathymetric sonar because RTK system was not available for all four surveys. 2011-041-FA and 2013-014-FA: Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation was used to determine the horizontal position (x, and y coordinates) of the GPS antenna mounted above the SWATHplus-H transducers with sub-meter accuracy. A motion reference unit (Coda Octopus F180) was mounted directly above the sonar transducers and continuously measured vertical displacement (heave) and attitude (pitch and roll) of the vessel during data acquisition. Horizontal offsets between navigation and attitude antennas and the SWATHplus-H transducers were applied during acquisition in the configuration files for the SWATHplus-H and Coda Octopus F180 software. Differential corrections were obtained real-time via the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) providing horizontal accuracy of 1-2 meters. 2012-003-FA and 2013-030-FA Real Time Kinematic (RTK) navigation was used to determine the horizontal position (x, and y coordinates) of the GPS antenna mounted above the SWATHplus-H transducers with sub-meter accuracy. A RTK-enabled motion reference unit (Coda Octopus F190) was mounted directly above the sonar transducers and continuously measured vertical displacement (heave) and attitude (pitch and roll) of the vessel during data acquisition. Horizontal offsets between navigation and attitude antennas and the SWATHplus-H transducers were applied during acquisition in the configuration files for the SWATHplus-H and Coda Octopus F190 software.

SONAR CONFIGURATION: Bathymetry data were acquired using Systems Engineering and Assessment Ltd (SEA) SWATHplus-H interferometric sonar operating at a frequency of 468 kHz. The sonar transducers were mounted on a rigid pole installed on the bow of the R/V Rafael.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Step 1: Raw to Processed Conversion: Navigation information is recorded and stored within each SWATHplus raw (sxr) data file and converted to a processed file (sxp) using SEA Swath Processor software (v. 3.07). Data were converted during each survey in the year 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Process_Description:

Step 2: CARIS Processing: A new Computer Aided Resource Information System (CARIS) Hydrographic Information Processing System (HIPS) project (v. 7.2) was created for each of the four surveys with projection information set to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 18, WGS 84. Each SWATHplus processed file (sxp) was imported to the new CARIS project using the Import/Conversion Wizard. Navigation was checked and edited as needed using the Navigation Editor tool.Data were processed during each survey in the year 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Step 3: Convert CARIS Tracklines to a shapefile: The tracklines in the separate CARIS projects were converted to an Esri shapefile during a two-step process. First the CARIS tracklines were converted to a CARIS Map (.des) using the export tool within HIPS "HIPS to CARIS Map" Input File: All lines in the HIPS project. The "Export Track Lines" option was checked. Output File: "SurveyName"BathTrks.des Second, using CARIS Conversion Utility (v. 2.1) The CARIS Map (.des) file was converted to an Esri shapefile. During the conversion the name of the HIPS line file "Source" and "Day" were carried over to the shapefile. Input File: "SurveyName"BathTrks.des Output File: "SurveyName"BathTrks.shp.

Process_Date: 20140128

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Step 4. Add Attributes to each survey shapefile: The following string attributes were added to each of the four trackline shapefiles by using the context menu within ArcCatalog (v. 9.3.1). "JDay", "Survey", and "LineName" The JDay was derived from the "Day" attribute, and "LineName" was derived from the "Source" attribute from CARIS. Deleted the "Day" and "Source" attributes once calculation was complete.

Step 6: Add "Grid" attribute and populate with lines used for final bathymetry grid http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0937/downloads/raster/bbbath2m.zip. Created new field using the "add field" context menu in ArcMap (v. 9.3.1). Populated the new field "Grid" by manually selecting lines that were not used in the final grid (bbbath_2m) and then using the context menu "Field Calculator" to add "no" to those selected lines. Used the "Switch Selection" menu to select all lines that were used for the final grid and populated those selected records with "yes" using same method as above. The lines included in the "bbtl2m" grid are included in the metadata for that data set.
