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 extended tracklines for the lines where the resistivity streamer was towed from shore.

The particular system used for this acquisition was an 11 electrode array with electrodes spaced 5 meters apart. The potential electrodes are made of graphite, with the remaining electrodes stainless steel. 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. Several tracklines were initiated with the resistivity streamer onshore and pulled away perpendicular to the beach. Because the streamer is behind the boat, any resistivity values acquired prior to crossing the boat's initial position are recorded as negative distances along line. In order to geographically place these readings, the tracklines needed to be extended shoreward. Process_Step: Process_Description: Four tracklines were started with the streamer on the shore. These were lines 3, 4, 5, and 9. I extracted the individual tracklines from the composite polyline shapefile.

The direction of the extension was from the beginning of the line in a direction consistent with the angle of the beginning of the line. The length of the extension was determined from the processed resistivity data in which all the data were included. The first negative value in the resulting XYZ file was used as the length of the extension (entered as a positive value). Process_Date: Unknown Process_Step: Process_Description: The geoprocessing extension in ArcView 3.3 was used to merge the individual shapefiles into a single shapefile. Process_Date: Unknown Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: extendedlines_05.shp Process_Step: Process_Description: Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.34 flagged. 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.
