Description:

Abstract:

Hurricane Sandy, the largest storm of historical record in the Atlantic basin, severely impacted southern Long Island, New York in October 2012. In 2014, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), conducted a high-resolution multibeam echosounder survey with Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey, Inc., offshore of Fire Island and western Long Island, New York to document the post-storm conditions of the inner continental shelf. The objectives of the survey were to determine the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the inner continental shelf morphology and modern sediment distribution, and provide additional geospatial data for sediment transport studies and coastal change model development. For more information about the WHCMSC Field Activity, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-072-FA.

Purpose:

This acoustic backscatter image represents approximately 1170 kilometers of multibeam echosounder data collected in 2014. These data were collected using a dual-head R2Sonic 2024 multibeam echosounder (MBES) by Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey, Inc., during USGS field activity 2014-072-FA. These acoustic backscatter data were used to determine the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the inner continental shelf morphology and sediment distribution.

Source_Contribution:

The specific details of the survey operation and system preparation and calibration are listed in: 1714_USGS_SOP.pdf stored in https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/data/field-activity-data/2014-072-FA/data/logs/2014-072-FA_Alpine_logs.zip. A summary of the operation and systems used is given below. The multibeam echosounder (MBES) survey was conducted aboard the R/V Shearwater, a 110 aluminum tri-maran research vessel owned and operated by Alpine Ocean Seismic Surveys, Inc. The R2Sonic 2024 dual-head MBES was mounted in the port side moon pool. The Applanix PosMV 320 MRU was mounted on the top moon pool plate and was used for positioning and attitude. Two GPS antennas were installed on a custom designed support system on the second deck. An AML Minos-X SVP was used to acquire sound velocity profiles during survey operations and a Valeport mini SVS was used to acquire speed of sound measurements at the R2Sonic 2024 transducer face. Survey lines were spaced at 100-m in order to image 100% of the seafloor within the survey areas. The survey areas were focused offshore of Fire Island, and offshore of the Rockaways and Long Beach, to Jones Inlet, NY. (The survey areas were: 1) Rockaways and Long Beach (NYB = NY Block); 2) Fire Island to Watch Hill up to 5 km offshore (FI = Fire Island) , Watch Hill to Moriches Inlet, up to 8 km offshore (OWH = Optional Watch Hill) and Fire Island to Watch Inlet, extended from 5 km to 8 km offshore (OFI = Optional Fire Island). All survey areas were completely mapped during 2014-072-FA).

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Dual-head R2Sonic 2024 Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) data were acquired using QPS (Quality Positioning Services) QINSy (Quality Integrated Navigation System; version 8.10.2013.10.10.1) hydrographic data acquisition software. The R2Sonic 2024 MBES acoustic backscatter data were processed using QPS FlederMaus Geocoder Tool (FMGT), version 7.4. FMGT is a software program designed to process multibeam acoustic backscatter.
Processing steps for Alpine Ocean Seismic Surveys Inc. Dual-head R2Sonic 2024 MBES
1. Create a project and set all import parameters for the R2Sonic 2024 MBES within FMGT. Select Edit->Processing Parameters and select the sonar tab. Click on 'override sonar parameters' and select the R2Sonic 2024 MBES sonar type. Also click on the dual head check box. All other parameters are left to the defaults.
2. Drop down the Settings file menu and select Project Coordinate System, then set it to UTM zone 18 N.
3. Drop down the Settings file menu and select Custom, and set the X and Y min and max to survey bounds.
4. Set the pixel size in the main window Mosaic box to 5 (meters).
5. Import data recorded by the QINSy hydrographic data acquisition software directly into FMGT. The data for each survey line reside in two files, which are imported as DB/QPD pairs. In QINSy, a database (DB) file is configured and written by the acquisition program and contains all the raw datagrams (bathymetry, attitude, snippets, navigation) selected to be recorded by the R2Sonic 2024 controller. The QPD file contains processed and/or raw bathymetry saved in the QINSy QPD format (the QPS internal file format). Snippet (backscatter) information is extracted from the DB file, and the associated QPD file is used by FMGT for bathymetry information to correct for slope and depth.
6. Click on the Mosaic button in the main window. This will build the mosaic and store the results in a Fledermaus SD (scientific data) file.
7. After the mosaic is built, click on the Visual Objects button in the main window. The mosaic is stored under the "mosaic" check box and by default is named mosaic_1. Right click and save the file to a 32-bit GeoTIFF. The GeoTIFF image can be imported to ArcGIS 9.3 with the 'Add Data' tool.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

There are no attributes associated with a GeoTIFF image. Image pixel values contain acoustic reflectivity values normalized to a 32-bit data range. Low-backscatter is represented by dark tones (low values) and high-backscatter is represented by bright tones (high values). The background color is set to 0-0-0 and can be turned off without removing data values.
