Abstract:
In 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted a geophysical and sampling survey of the riverbed of the Upper St. Clair River between Port Huron, MI, and Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. The objectives were to define the Quaternary geologic framework of the St. Clair River to evaluate the relationship between morphologic change of the riverbed and underlying stratigraphy. This report presents the geophysical and sample data collected from the St. Clair River, May 29-June 6, 2008 as part of the International Upper Great Lakes Study, a 5-year project funded by the International Joint Commission of the United States and Canada to examine whether physical changes in the St. Clair River are affecting water levels within the upper Great Lakes, to assess regulation plans for outflows from Lake Superior, and to examine the potential effect of climate change on the Great Lakes water levels ( http://www.iugls.org). This document makes available the data that were used in a separate report, U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2009-1137, which detailed the interpretations of the Quaternary geologic framework of the region. This report includes a description of the suite of high-resolution acoustic and sediment-sampling systems that were used to map the morphology, surficial sediment distribution, and underlying geology of the Upper St. Clair River during USGS field activity 2008-016-FA . Video and photographs of the riverbed were also collected and are included in this data release. Future analyses will be focused on substrate erosion and its effects on river-channel morphology and geometry. Ultimately, the International Upper Great Lakes Study will attempt to determine where physical changes in the St. Clair River affect water flow and, subsequently, water levels in the Upper Great Lakes.
Purpose:
This data set contains trackline navigation for approximately 58 km of sidescan-sonar data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during cruise 08016 within the St. Clair River between Michigan and Ontario, Canada, 2008

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes relay information about the object ID (i.e. vector polyline), date of data collection, type of sonar system used to acquire data, the frequency of the sonar system, swath width of the sonar system, USGS unique cruise identification, and the length of tracklines (km). Attributes were checked for consistency and for accuracy of descriptive information.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All sidescan-sonar data were collected during USGS cruise 08016 using a Klein system 3000 sidescan-sonar system. Quality control was conducted during processing of the data. Any spurious data or artifacts were removed or minimized. Sidescan-sonar data were collected during Julian Days 150 - 151 (Lines 1 - 35).
Completeness_Report:
All sidescan-sonar navigation data were used to generate the trackline shapefile.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation data were acquired with a Communications Systems International (CSI), Inc. LGBX Pro receiver and sent directly to the sidescan-sonar acquisition software, L3-Klein Associates, SonarPro. The LGBX Pro received DGPS positions from a DGPS antenna located on the port, aft roof of the R/V Rafael cabin. The sonar system was deployed off the port side of the RV Rafael and towed less than 5 m astern. Horizontal and vertical offsets between the sonar tow-fish and the DGPS antenna were stored within SonarPro®, allowing for tow-fish position to be calculated dynamically during acquisition. DGPS accuracy is 1 to 3 meters, depending on the distance from a US Coast Guard coastal repeater station (<http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/>).

Sidescan-sonar data were acquired with L3-Klein Associates, Inc., System 3000 dual-frequency sonar operating at 132 and 445 kHz (http://www.l-3klein.com/). Sonar data were collected at 0.033-s sampling rate, yielding a 50-m range, or 100-m swath width. L3-Klein SonarPro® acquisition software was used to log the data digitally and store them in eXtended Triton format (XTF) (http://www.tritonimaginginc.com/site/). The sonar system was deployed off the port side of the RV Rafael and towed less than 5 m astern. Horizontal and vertical offsets between the sonar tow-fish and the DGPS antenna were stored within SonarPro®, allowing for tow-fish position to be calculated dynamically during acquisition. A total of approximately 58 km of sidescan-sonar data were collected. Sidescan-sonar data were collected during Julian Day 150 - 151 (lines 1 - 35).

Process_Description:
Navigation data were extracted at 1 minute intervals from the raw sidescan sonar data (XTF format) during the 'demultiplex' phase of data processing within XSonar/ShowImage sidescan-sonar processing software (Danforth and others, 1991; Danforth, 1997) and stored in ASCII files.

The ASCII file (*.csv) was imported into ESRI ArcMap 9.2 using Tools - Add XY Data and converted to an event theme. The event theme was then saved to a point shapefile and the projection was defined as UTM, Zone 17N, meters, WGS84. The point shapefile was visually inspected for spurious data points and deleted.

The point shapefile containing 1-minute navigation was used as an input for a VACExtras (version 1.8), a VB collection of tools developed by VeeAnn Cross (USGS-WHSC), that converts point data to a new polyline (vector) shapefile, based on the order of records contained within one attribute field. The line number field was used to define the point order and as the unique line identifier.

The length of each line segment was calculated and included in a new attribute field using XTools Pro for ArcGIS desktop (version 6.2.0), specifying UTM Zone 17 N, WGS84 - kilometers. Year, System, Swath and Cruise_ID fields were added to the attribute table within ArcMap 9.2.
The vector shapefile was then reprojected to the Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84 using Arc Toolbox, Data Management Tools, Projections and Transformations, Feature, Project.
Arc Toolbox, Data Management Tools, Projections and Transformations, Project was then used to project the shapefile from UTM, Zone 17 N, meters, WGS84 to Geographic Coordinate system, WGS84.

Process_Description:
Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 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.). The link to the data in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. The link to the data in the Distribution_Information section had to be fixed. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. Reordered the links in the identification section to have a landing page link as the first link. Online link was added to a cross-reference. 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.
