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 (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). 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 resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 3-30 meters deep. 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). The data collected in the study area located in Northern Cape Cod Bay Massachusetts includes high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection), and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines, and bottom photographs). The data were collected during five separate surveys conducted between 2006 and 2008 and cover 480 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf. More information about the individual USGS surveys conducted as part of the northern Cape Cod Bay project can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage: 06012: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2006/06012/ 07001: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07001/ 07002: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07002/ 07003: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07003/ 08002: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2008/08002/

Purpose:

The purpose of this GeoTIFF is to publish the acoustic backscatter of the seafloor acquired with the 117-kHz SWATHplus interferometric sonar offshore of Massachusetts within northern Cape Cod Bay. The Klein 3000 sidescan sonar was primary sonar used to acquire acoustic backscatter during surveys 06012, 07001, 07002, and 08002. However, during August 1-2, 2007 (07002), the winch used to deploy the Klein 3000 sidescan sonar towfish was inoperable. The acoustic backscatter acquired with the 117-kHz SWATHplus interferometric sonar was processed to cover this data gap in the Klein 3000 backscatter data.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Image pixel values contain acoustic reflectivity values normalized to an 8-bit data range (0-255). Low-backscatter is represented by dark tones (low values) and high-backscatter is represented by bright tones (high values). No data value is set to 255.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Information unavailable from original metadata.
Completeness_Report:

This image does not include all backscatter data collected with the SWATHplus (117 kHz) interferometric sonar. It includes only SWATHplus backscatter data collected during JD 213-214 covering the data gap in the towed Klein sidescan-sonar backscatter data.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The SWATHplus transducers were mounted on a rigid pole, approximately 2.6 m below the water line, along the starboard side of the R/V Megan T. Miller. Position data were provided by the Z-Surveyor Extreme for real-time kinematic (RTK) navigation (the Ashtech BR2G Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) was used as a backup navigation system) and recorded to the raw data files (SXR) via SWATHplus (version 2.07) on the acquisition computer. A conservative estimate of positional accuracy is estimated to be 10 m although when the system was recording RTK navigation the positional accuracy may be <1 m as RTK-GPS provides horizontal positional accuracies on the decimeter scale (http://www.noaa.gov; http://www.nos.noaa.gov; http://www.ngs.noaa.gov).

Sonar Configuration: Bathymetry data were acquired with a Systems Engineering and Assessment Ltd. (SEA) SWATHplus 117 kHz interferometric sonar. Survey lines were run at an average speed of 5 knots and were spaced 150 m apart to obtain overlapping swaths of data and full coverage of the seafloor. The transducers were mounted on a rigid pole on the starboard side of the R/V Megan Miller, about 2.6 m below the waterline. A Coda Octopus F-180 inertial-motion unit, mounted directly above the transducers, measured true heading, vertical displacement (heave) and attitude (pitch and roll) of the vessel during acquisition. Navigation: Navigation was based on a Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS); the RTK-GPS antenna was mounted directly above the interferometric sonar head. The RTK-corrected GPS signal was sent to the ship from a base station established by the USGS on land. Horizontal (x and y) and vertical (z) offsets between the transducers and motion sensor and antenna and motion sensor were precisely measured and recorded within the SWATHplus acquisition software (SEA Swath Processor (2005)). These offsets are used to establish the motion sensor as the common reference point for data acquisition. Speed of Sound: Additionally, the depth of the transducers below the water surface was measured and recorded within the SEA Swath Processor acquisition software. This depth was used to derive the speed of sound profile and acoustic ray path based on speed of sound profiles collected within the survey area. Sound-velocity profiles were collected approximately every 2 hours by a hand-casted Applied MicroSystems SV Plus sound velocimeter.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Step 1: Raw to Processed Conversion: Each raw SWATHplus bathymetric sonar file (sxr) was converted to a SWATHplus processed file (sxp) using SEA SWATHplus Swath Processor (ver.3.6). During the conversion process, sound velocity profiles were used to minimize potential refraction artifacts from fluctuations in the speed of sound within the water column. Various bathymetric filters were applied to flag sounding outliers however all data (flagged/unflagged) were converted to the processed file. During this conversion process the tidal information from the previous process step was merged into the new processed file (sxp).

Step 3:CARIS Import-geoTIFF export: Import each of the sxp processed files into CARIS ver 6.1 using the generic data parser. Once each of the sxps were converted to a CARIS line file, a mosaic using the amplitude option was made for each line. A separate GeoTIFF image was produced for each of the 6 line files.

PCI Mosaic: The odd and even tiff images were then imported into PCI Geomatica Software (version 10.1) and digitally mosaicked at a 1.0-m pixel resolution using PCI's OrthoEngine. The composite mosaic was registered in the UTM (Zone 19N, WGS84, meters) coordinate system and exported as a GeoTIFF image. A TIFF world file (tfw) was also generated for those who can't read a GeoTIFF.

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.30 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.). This file had a source contribution, but no other source information. This information had to be modified to meet the standard. The distribution format 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.
