Chesapeake Bay resource managers are concerned about nutrients that are entering the estuary via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication. The USGS has performed many related studies in recent years to provide managers with information necessary to make informed decisions about this issue. The research carried out as part of the study described here was designed to help refine nutrient budgets for Chesapeake Bay by characterizing submarine groundwater flow and discharge of groundwater beneath part of the mainstem and a major tributary, the Potomac River Estuary. Purpose: The purpose of these data is to provide the navigation and bathymetry as recorded by the ship Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) in an ANSI text format. In addition to archiving this dataset, this navigation could be used to supplement absent or erroneous navigation from the other systems on USGS cruise 06018.

No additional checks or corrections have been made to these files. Completeness_Report: These files represent all the navigation recorded by the ship's navigation system and supplied to the U.S. Geological Survey. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The ship had a Differential GPS (DGPS) system with the antenna placed 7.9 meters forward of the anchor point for the resistivity streamer. The fathometer was located (hull-mounted) roughly directly below the antenna, so no horizontal offset. The accuracy of the system is better than 20 meters. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The ship's fathometer was hull mounted approximately midship, essentially directly below the navigation antenna. The values are assumed to be accurate to within 1 meter. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: A USB thumb drive was used to transfer the text navigation files from the ship's navigation system. The filenames are in the format "usgsXXXXXX.nav" where XXXXXX is the date in the format MMDDYY. The files were opened with Notepad 5.1 and saved with the same filename as ANSI text files as opposed to the original Unicode format. This enables the files to be manipulated on a UNIX operating system.

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 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.
