Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the combined single-beam and multibeam echo-sounder data and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts. During August 2008 seismic-reflection profiles (Boomer and Chirp) were acquired, and during September 2008 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys. Purpose: To release a GeoTIFF of the 455-kHz sidescan-sonar data generated during NOAA survey H11346 in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, in UTM Zone 19, NAD83.

Source_Contribution: The original sidescan-sonar data acquired with Klein T-5000 sidescan-sonar systems during NOAA survey H11346 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson. Process_Step: Process_Description: The sidescan-sonar data were acquired with Klein T-5000 sidescan-sonar systems hull mounted to two 29' aluminum launches deployed from the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson. The systems were set to sweep 100 m to either side of the launch tracks. The sonar systems emitted two (port and starboard) 50°-wide beams tilted down 20° from horizontal, and transmitted at 455 kHz. The data were acquired in XTF (extended Triton data format), recorded digitally through an ISIS data acquisition system, and processed using CARIS SIPS (Sidescan Image Processing) software for quality control, and to produce a composite sidescan-sonar image at 2-m horizontal resolution. As part of this process, the sidescan-sonar data were demultiplexed and filtered to remove speckle noise and correct for slant-range distortions. Image 'shine through', to account for areas of overlap, and auto-contrast adjustment were applied. Contrast enhancement based on the dynamic range of the data was applied to the mosaic and it was then projected into UTM Zone 19 to produce the final enhanced image.

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.). This file had a source contribution, but no other source information. This information had to be modified to meet the standard. 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.
