Description:
Abstract:
The Long Island Sound Study (LISS) compiled data from a number of different sources, integrated new data, and assembled a comprehensive spatial database for areas of the States of Connecticut, New York, and portions of Rhode Island which border Long Island Sound.
Purpose:
Selected by the Long Island Sound Study to serve as a general bathymetric data layer in its GIS data base. Best for sound-wide applications or general information. These data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information for the Long Island Sound. The data are to be used for illustrations and illustrative maps on scientific topics. They are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. There is NO ASSURANCE of their accuracy, completeness, or precision. The contour line data were manually digitized from a published map.

Process_Description:
The metadata was edited to remove errors as well as update some information. Edits include updating the citation section with the DOI link and modifying the title, added the USGS Thesaurus and ISO 19115 Topic Category thesaurus, added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword, added link to cross-reference, used a generic email address in metadata, replaced distribution liability with FSP statement. Other blank fields were deleted. The metadata date (20020405), but not the contact (except email and contact instructions) was updated. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata available from the publication. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. (20210818). Replaced all links to data using woodshole.er with the appropriate working link. Fixed the browse graphic broken link. (20240819).
