Description:

Abstract:

The Delmarva Peninsula is a 220-kilometer-long headland, spit, and barrier island complex that was significantly affected by Hurricane Sandy in the fall of 2012. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted cruises during the summers of 2014 and 2015 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Geophysical data collected during the cruises include swath bathymetric, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic reflection profiles, grab sample and bottom photograph data. More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-001-FA. Data collected during the 2014 survey can be obtained here: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7MW2F60

Purpose:

This dataset is used to display the locations of sound velocity profiles (SVP) (also referred to as sound speed profiles) collected during a 2015 USGS cruise along the Delmarva Peninsula. The information contained within the sound velocity profiles is needed to adequately account for refraction artifacts that may be present within raw swath bathymetric data. This dataset contains graphs of the sound velocity profile at each station location, as well as location in Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) WGS 84 latitude and longitude, time of day and date of collection.

Data_Quality_Information:

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Sound velocity profiles were acquired with an MVP30 Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) from Brooke Ocean from 20150610 to 20150704 (JD 161-185) at which point the MVP30 was not recovered from cast number: MVP30_0724. The remaining sound speed profiles on 20150704 through 20150714 (JD 185 - 195) were collected with an Applied Microsystems Minos (SVP) hand-deployed velocimeter.

Completeness_Report:

Sound velocity profiles not associated with the patch test (904 total) collected during cruise 2015-001-FA are included in the Esri shapefile. MVP30_0384 and SVP_0886 do not exist.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) and Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) enabled GPS navigation data were acquired during the 2015-001-FA survey using an Ashtech ProFlex 800 (ProFlex) and a Hemisphere GPS receivers, which were located on the portside of the acquisition van. Positioning data from these GPS receivers were recorded using HYPACK software version 14.0.9.47 (www.hypack.com) during the geophysical survey and positions from the Hemisphere GPS were used for MVP and SVP sound velocity deployment locations. Horizontal position accuracy is thought to be within 2 meters for WAAS enabled GPS position solutions (3 to 5 m for DGPS). However, offsets from the location of the MVP30 smart winch (which was used to deploy the MVP while underway) and the GPS antenna were not measured, and therefore the horizontal accuracy of the sound velocity profile locations is considered to be within 25 m.

Source_Contribution:

Sound speed profiles were collected to correct refraction artifacts in the swath bathymetric data that can occur due to changes in the speed of sound throughout the water column.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Sound velocity profiles were collected every 1-2 hours and sometimes more frequently using a Brooks Ocean Moving Vessel Profiler (MVP) (see http://www.brooke-ocean.com/mvp_main.html; for details) from 20150610 to 20150704 (JD 161-185). A computer controlled smart winch and deployment system allowed the free fall MVP fish to be deployed while the vessel was underway at a user specified time interval. The Applied Microsystems Minos SVP was used from 20150704 through 20150714 (JD 185 - 195) and deployed over the side from the aft deck of the survey vessel by hand lowering the instrument. Data from both sound velocimeters were written to a Kongsberg SIS format ASCII file (.asvp). The ASVP files from the SVP were manually edited in a text editor to remove the up-cast data collection and to amend the number of data points the ASVP header. The MVP was set to only collect data on the down-cast.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

A Python script was used to read the ASVP data and plot the sound speed profile as speed of sound (meter/second) versus depth (meters). Position, Date, Time, and Profile ID were pulled from the ASVP header and written into the image (PNG) for reference. Within the same script, the Position, Julian day, Time, and Profile ID were also imported to a spatially enabled SQLite (version 3.7.9) + Spatialite (version 3.0.1) relational database using the pyspatialite interface. The geographic positions were used to create point geometries for the station locations, and additional fields indicating survey ID, vessel ID, and device ID were added.

The PNG images can be hyperlinked to their shapefile location in ArcGIS. The graphs show depth on the y-axis and speed of sound on the x-axis. The format of the ASVP files is as follows: Heading: SoundVelocity (file type), 1.00 (file format version number), cast number in filename (XXX), date/time of file creation ( YYYYMMDDhhmm), latitude (decimal degrees), longitude (decimal degrees), radii around the lat/long position for which the profile is valid (set to 1 meter), date of profile start ( YYYYMMDDhhmm), date of profile stop ( YYYYMMDDhhmm), source instrument of the profile (MVP P or SmartProbe P where P stands for Probe), number of values in the profile, which is followed by column data of depth (meters) and speed of sound (meters per second). The CSV file contains the following columns of data: castnum, Lon, Lat, date, JD_UTC, which correspond to the attributes of the same name in the shapefile.
