This mapping program was part of a larger research effort supporting the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Ripples Directed-Research Initiative (DRI) studies at MVCO by providing data collection and modeling. The geophysical data will be used to provide initial conditions for wave and circulation models for the study area. Ultimately, geophysical mapping, oceanographic measurements and modeling will help to improve our understanding of coastal sediment-transport processes. The geophysical mapping utilized a suite of high-resolution instrumentation to map the surficial sediment distribution, depth and sub-surface geology: dual-frequency 100/500 KHz sidescan-sonar system, 234-KHz interferometric sonar, and 500 Hz -12 KHz chirp sub-bottom profiler. The survey was conducted aboard the M/V Megan Miller August 9-13, 2007. The study area covers 35 square kilometers from about 0.2 km to 5-km offshore of the south shore of Martha's Vineyard, and ranges in depth from ~ 5 to 20 meters. Purpose: These data are supplied to provide the raw navigation collected by an Ashtech Z-Extreme receiver and logged using HYPACK, Inc. navigation software (www.hypack.com). RTK navigation was not incorporated to any of the geophysical systems during data acquisition. These data were stored in order to post-process the RTK navigation to provide improved vertical and horizontal accuracies for the swath bathymetric data. RTK provides accuracies on the order of 10s of centimeters (http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/).

No additional checks or corrections have been made to these files. Completeness_Report: These files represent all the real-time kinematic (RTK) navigation recorded by the HYPACK software during USGS cruise 07011 off the southern shore of Martha's Vineyard, 2007. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) data were collected using an Ashtech Z-Extreme receiver and were processed and recorded using navigation software from HYPACK, Inc (http://www.hypack.com/). These data were not incorporated into the geophysical data during acquisition. These data were stored in order to post-process the RTK navigation to provide improved vertical and horizontal accuracies for the swath bathymetric data during post-cruise processing. RTK provides accuracies on the order of 10s of centimeters (http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/). Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Data from the Z-Extreme were also logged to Ashtech's Geodetic Base Station Software (GBSS), and recorded locally to hard disk. GPS signal correction data from a Z-Extreme base station located at the USGS warehouse facility were transmitted via radio modem out to the ship. These data were used by the HYPACK software to provide height offsets from the WGS 84 ellipsoid. These offsets were then translated to water level heights based on the 2003 geoid model (see: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/GEOID/GEOID03/ for more information), which approximates mean seal level (MSL).

An RTK antenna was positioned between the forward and aft Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) antennas used by the Coda Octopus F180R motion reference unit (MRU) for position and heading for the swath bathymetric system. The three antennas are mounted on a rigid horizontal pole that is 6.76 meters directly above the MRU and swath bathymetric transducers; an integral part of the sidemount used to deploy the swath bathymetric system from the starboard side of the R/V Megan Miller. The RTK antenna location was defined within HYPACK. Raw navigation data were saved in HYPACK format (http://www.hypack.com). File name convention is LLL_TTTT.DDD, where LLL is the HYPACK line number, TTTT is the 24 hour time (UTC) for the beginning of the file, and DDD is the Julian day. Times in the file were recorded in UTC (Coordinate Universal Time). Process_Step: Process_Description: Raw HYPACK navigation files were transferred from the navigation acquisition computer to a Macintosh RAID server for accessibility and archival. The raw HYPACK navigation files are stored in separate directories indicating the acquisition Julian Day (JD221 through JD225), corresponding to August 9, 2007 - August 13, 2007. The filenames in each folder are in the format of linenumber_starttime.julianday. For example, filename 064_0057.224 represents HYPACK line number 064, start time 0057 and Julian Day 224. Times are recorded in UTC (Coordinate Universal Time). Process_Date: 2007 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Jane F.

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.). Reordered the links in the identification section so a landing page link is first. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. The distribution format name was modified in an attempt to be more consistent with other metadata files of the same data format. 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.
