Edition: 1.0 Series_Information: Series_Name: Open-File Report Issue_Identification: 2007-1373 Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Reston, VA Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1373/ Description: Abstract: These data were collected under a cooperative agreement with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Science Center. Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine reserves, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters (5-30 m deep) of Massachusetts between the New Hampshire border and Cape Cod Bay. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports <(http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html>). This spatial dataset is from the Cape Ann and Salisbury Beach Massachusetts project area. The data collected in two separate surveys in 2004 and 2005 and cover approximately 325 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf. High resolution bathymetry and backscatter intensity were collected in 2004 and 2005. Seismic profile data, sediment samples and bottom photography were also collected in 2005. Purpose: This data set includes the tracklines (the linear extent) of bottom video acquired with the large SEABed Observation and Sampling System (SEABOSS) during USGS survey 05005, conducted September 18-20, 2005 aboard the R/V Connecticut. This data set was collected to ground-truth (verify) the geophysical data sets that were acquired immediately preceding this sampling survey (September 8-16, 2005). High resolution digital photographs were also taken along these tracklines (see shapefile BottomPhotos.shp) Time_Period_of_Content: Time_Period_Information: Range_of_Dates/Times: Beginning_Date: 20050918 Ending_Date: 20050920 Currentness_Reference: ground condition Status: Progress: Complete Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: None planned Spatial_Domain: Bounding_Coordinates: West_Bounding_Coordinate: -70.800892 East_Bounding_Coordinate: -70.603836 North_Bounding_Coordinate: 42.869712 South_Bounding_Coordinate: 42.670899 Keywords: Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: USGS Metadata Identifier Theme_Keyword: USGS:d66405dc-99aa-4683-a658-3d1dda4a81a8 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Theme_Keyword: U.S. Geological Survey Theme_Keyword: USGS Theme_Keyword: Woods Hole Science Center Theme_Keyword: WHSC Theme_Keyword: Coastal and Marine Geology Program Theme_Keyword: CMGP Theme_Keyword: R/V Connecticut Theme_Keyword: ESRI polyline shapefile Theme_Keyword: ground-truth Theme_Keyword: video trackline Theme_Keyword: bottom video Theme_Keyword: seabed video Theme_Keyword: photos Theme_Keyword: stations Theme_Keyword: seafloor Theme_Keyword: sediments Theme_Keyword: Field Activity Number 05005 Theme_Keyword: Van Veen grab sampler Theme_Keyword: SEABOSS sampler Theme_Keyword: Open-File Report 2007-1373 Theme_Keyword: OFR 2007-1373 Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: ISO 19115 Topic Category Theme_Keyword: location Theme_Keyword: oceans Theme: Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus: USGS Thesaurus Theme_Keyword: navigational data Theme_Keyword: underwater photography Theme_Keyword: geospatial datasets Place: Place_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Place_Keyword: North America Place_Keyword: United States Place_Keyword: Atlantic Ocean Place_Keyword: Gulf of Maine Place_Keyword: Bigelow Bight Place_Keyword: Merrimack River Place_Keyword: Ipswich Bay Place_Keyword: Massachusetts Place_Keyword: Cape Ann Place_Keyword: Salisbury Beach Place_Keyword: Plum Island Stratum: Stratum_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Stratum_Keyword: Seafloor Stratum_Keyword: Seabed Stratum_Keyword: sea floor Temporal: Temporal_Keyword_Thesaurus: None Temporal_Keyword: 2005 Access_Constraints: None Use_Constraints: The intended scale of these data is 1:25,000.

Completeness_Report: The length of the trackline represents the distance along the drift that that bottom was in view on the video. It does not include video of the water column during deployment or retrieval. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation for survey 05005 used Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS from a base station established by USGS for this survey. RTK-GPS provides horizontal positional accuracies on the decimeter scale. The recorded position of each sediment sample is actually the position of the GPS antenna on the survey vessel, not the SEABOSS sampler. No layback or offset was applied to the recorded position. The SEABOSS was deployed approximately 10 meters astern of the GPS antenna and may drift additionally away from the survey vessel when deployed to the seafloor. Based on the various sources for horizontal offsets, a conservative estimate the horizontal accuracy of the SEABOSS location is 30-40 meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Eighty-seven target stations were occupied aboard the R/V Connecticut (USGS survey 05005) with the large SEABOSS (Blackwood and Parolski, 2001) that was also equipped with a Van Veen grab sampler a digital still camera and a video camera.

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 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.
