During UGSS cruise 2014-009-FA, the TELEDYNE RESON T20-P multibeam echosounder was tested; no data were collected for research and/or data analysis. Some fields within the HYPACK navigation files were setup for the T20-P and associated systems such as the ODIM Brooke Ocean Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) 30. These fields contain usable data, however they were not used for any additional data analysis (Fields: DEV 3, DEV 2, TID, KTC, PRD).
The times recorded in the navigation file are in UTC. Keywords and the information they provide are as follows:
FTP: The first record located at the top of the header used to identify the file format.
VER: HYPACK version number.
INF: General survey information filled in by the data technician. This typically contains the survey participants, the vessel name, other agencies involved with the survey, and the location of the survey. The three numbers at the end refer to initial tide correction at start-of-line, initial draft correction at start-of-line and sound velocity from the navigation parameters. NOTE: within some files the survey area is listed as "Offshore Delmarva Pennisula" which is incorrect. The survey area was offshore of Fire Island, Long Island, New York.
ELL: Ellipsoid information. The name of the ellipsoid followed by the semi-major axis in meters and the flattening ration.
PRO: Project information record where TME indicates Transverse Mercator and the central meridian of -75 indicates UTM, zone 18.
DTM: Datum transformation record.
GEO: Geoid model. Blank if not present. Note: During survey 2014-009-FA geoid g2012a-CONUS.geo was used.
HVU: Horizontal and Vertical Units (meters).
TND: Survey time and date in UTC.
DEV 0: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 0 are lines of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) collected with the Ashtech BRG2 receiver. (The Ashtech BR2G was used as the primary antenna during JD299, starting with file 000_1804.299)
DEV 1: Indicates that the lines with device designation 1 are lines of Real Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) data collected with the Ashtech ProFlex 800 GPS RTK receiver. (The Ashtech ProFlex 800 GPS RTK receiver was used as the primary navigation receiver from JD292 through JD299 file 000_1253.299)
DEV 2: Indicates that the lines with device designation 2 are lines of center beam depth transmitted from the Reson T20-P multibeam echosounder via serial interface. *** The Teledyne Reson T20-P was tested during USGS cruise 2014-009-FA. The center beam depth information was stored in the Hypack raw files to be used as depth input for the MVP-30. ***
DEV 3: Indicates that the lines with device designation 3 are lines of NMEA Output.
DEV 4: Indicates that the lines with device designation 4 are lines of instrument information "DGPS_at_stern". Note: this device was labeled "Disabled" throughout the survey.
DEV 5: Indicates that the lines with device designation 5 are lines of Applanix POS M/V attitude and position system. Note: this device was labeled "Disabled" throughout the survey.
OFF: Device Offsets in the format "OFF dn n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6 n7" where dn = device number; n1 = starboard or port offset (positive starboard); n2 = forward or aft offset (positive forward); n3 = height (antenna) or depth (transducer draft) offset; n4 = yaw rotation angle (positive for clockwise rotation); n5 = roll rotation angle (port side up is positive); n6 = pitch rotation angle (bow up is positive); n7 = device latency in seconds.
DDT:identifies the device synchronizing the computer's time, where KTC is Kinematic Tide Corrections
PRD: Private Device Data, which has multiple formats depending on the type of device generating the data. For example, KTD is a Kinematic Tide Datum File that can be used to apply offsets to RTK values to establish corrected heights.
LIN 3: planned line data follows where X indicates the number of waypoints.
PTS: planned line waypoints (easting and northing, UTM, zone 18N, meters).
LBP: planned line begin point (easting and northing, UTM zone 18N, meters).
LNN: planned line name.
EOL: end of planned line
USR: user information
EOH: end of header.
The remaining elements have similar information in the first 3 columns. The first column will indicate the data type, the second column will indicate the device that recorded the information (e.g. 0 for Ashtech BRG2 DGPS) and the third column is the time tag (seconds past midnight) that is also sometimes referred to as the latency. The remaining information on each line is specific to the data type. Not all data types were recorded in each HYPACK file.
POS: Position of the ship in the format "POS dn t x y" where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); x=easting; y=northing. On this cruise these values are in UTM, Zone 18, WGS84.

The last 3 values are decoded from GST message: standard deviation of latitude error (meters); standard deviation of longitude error (meters); Standard deviation of semi-major axis of error ellipsis (meters).

MSG: Message string in the format "MSG dn t message" where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); message is the message sent from the device. During survey 2014-009-FA there were several different messages were sent from the GPS systems. These message strings will be defined below. ($ECDPT is depth below transducer)
TID: Tide correction in the format "TID dn t dc" where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), dc = draft correction.
KTC: Describes how HYPACK records water levels (tide corrections) when using RTK where “KTC dn t nv eh lh u kval offset draft final” where dn = device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight, matches GPS position), nv=number of values, eh= WGS84ellipsoidal height (from GPS), lh= local ellipsoidal height (on local ellipsoid), u=undulation, kval= K value, offset= antenna offset, draft=draft correction, final=final tide.
