This estuary suffers from severe eutrophication for which several water quality models have recently been developed to aid in the management of nutrient loading to the estuary. In an effort to help constrain model estimates of the fraction of nutrients delivered by direct ground-water discharge, continuous resistivity profile (CRP) measurements were made during the spring of 2004 and 2005. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to difference in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2005 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software. CRP data enables the mapping of the extent and depth of the fresher ground water within the estuary. Purpose: To provide resistivity data as collected by the AGI SuperSting system and processed with EarthImager software.

The particular system used for this acquisition was an 11 stainless steel electrode array with electrodes spaced 10 meters apart. A dipole-dipole configuration was used for the data collection in which two fixed current electrodes are assigned with the measurement of voltage potentials between electrode pairs in the remaining electrodes. Each line of data acquisition records several files. The two files necessary for processing are the *.stg and *.gps file. The STG file contains the resistivity data, while the GPS file contains the navigation information. Process_Step: Process_Description: The data were transferred from the logging computer via AGISSAdmin software. The data files available for this day are 25.* and 65.* Process_Date: Unknown Process_Step: Process_Description: $GPRMC lines within the GPS file that had bad time stamps or were otherwise corrupt were deleted.

Process_Date: Unknown Process_Step: Process_Description: The file was then exported to a new STG file, and accompanying DEP file. The DEP file contains the distance along line and bathymetry values. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 25.stg, 65.stg Process_Date: Unknown Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc.stg, 25proc.dep, 65proc.stg, 65proc.dep Process_Step: Process_Description: The DEP file was checked for anomalous bathymetry values and those lines in the file were deleted. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc.dep, 65proc.dep Process_Date: Unknown Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_mod.dep, 65proc_mod.dep Process_Step: Process_Description: EarthImager software does not require that a default resistivity value for the water column be supplied in the DEP file. If one is not supplied, then it calculates a value based on the first electrode pair. For this reason, the data were processed without a value supplied (in the folder def_wres), and with a value supplied (in the folder wres). The average water resistivity value was calculated based on YSI temperature and conductivity data readings during the survey. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_mod.dep, 65proc_mod.dep Process_Date: Unknown Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_wres.dep, 65proc_wres.dep Process_Step: Process_Description: EarthImager version 1.9.0 was used to process the data files. The *.ini file accompanying the results contains the parameters used during the processing. These parameters include: minimum voltage: 0.02 minimum abs(V/I): 2E-5 max repeat error: 3% min apparent res: 0.03 max apparent res: 1000 max reciprocal error: 5% remove spikes smooth model inversion finite difference method Cholesky decomposition Dirichlet boundary condition thickness incremental factor: 1.1 depth factor: 1.1 number of iterations: 8 stop criteria: max RMS 3%, error reduction 5%, L2Norm CRP processing using a 65% overlap Process_Date: Unknown Process_Step: Process_Description: The results of the processing are a JPEG image of the resistivity profile, and an XYZ file containing the distance along, depth, apparent resistivity (ohm-m). The first pass at processing (Trial1) used the default water resistivity value, while the second pass (Trial2) used the average water resistivity value in the DEP file. The JPEG file produced uses a color scale that is based on the data from this particular file. **Caution: The XYZ output filename does not contain the trial number, so the processing technique is a function of the folder it resides in. Process_Date: Unknown Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_AllInvRes.xyz Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_trial1_InvResShort.jpg Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 25proc_trial1_InvResShort.jpg Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 65proc_AllInvRes.xyz Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 65proc_trial1_InvResShort.jpg Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: 65proc_trial2_InvResShort.jpg Process_Step: Process_Description: The XYZ output file was then loaded into Matlab, along with the depth information, to create a new JPEG image with the same color scale for all the data files. In this manner, the JPEG images can be compared directly. Care was taken to try to get the vertical and horizontal scales uniform as well, although this was not always possible due to Matlab limitations. These images reside in the Matlab images folder. Part of the filename (defwres vs. wres), as well as information within the image indicates if the default water resistivity (defwres) data file was used or an average water resistivity (wres) value.

This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. The process steps without process dates had the date set to unknown. The distributor information needed to be added, along with the distribution format and network resource. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
