More than 200 kilometers (km) of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) data were collected to image the fresh-saline groundwater interface in sediments beneath the bay. In addition, groundwater sampling was performed at sites (1) along the northern shore of Great South Bay, particularly in Patchogue Bay, that were representative of the developed Long Island shoreline, and (2) at sites on and adjacent to Fire Island, a 50-km-long barrier island on the southern side of Great South Bay. Other field activities included sediment coring, stationary electrical resistivity profiling, and surveys of in-situ pore water conductivity. The onshore and offshore shallow hydrostratigraphy of the Great South Bay shorelines, particularly the presence and nature of submarine confining units, appears to exert primary control on the dimensions and chemistry of the submarine groundwater flow and discharge zones. Sediment coring has shown that the confining units commonly consist of drowned and buried peat layers likely deposited in salt marshes. Based on CRP data, low-salinity groundwater extends from 10 to 100 meters (m) offshore along much of the northern and southern shores of Great South Bay, especially off the mouths of tidal creeks, and beneath shallow flats to the north of Fire Island adjacent to modern salt marshes. Human modifications of much of the shoreline and nearshore areas along the northern shore of the bay, including filling of salt marshes, construction of bulkheads and piers, and dredging of navigation channels, has substantially altered the natural hydrogeology of the bay's shorelines by truncating confining units and increasing recharge near the shore in filled areas. Better understanding of the nature of SGD along developed and undeveloped shorelines of embayments such as this could lead to improved models and mitigation strategies for nutrient overenrichment of estuaries.

However, for the depth field (depth_m), it is assumed that depths greater than 10 are erroneous values - although these values were not removed from the file. Logical_Consistency_Report: No duplicate points are present. The navigational fixes were checked for valid values and invalid locations were deleted. No other checks were performed. However, it is assumed that depth_m values greater than 10 are erroneous. Completeness_Report: All GPS files acquired as part of the CRP data collection were processed to generate this point shapefile. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The navigation system used was a Lowrance 480M with an LGC-2000 Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. The antenna was located at the anchor point for the resistivity streamer, which is also directly above the fathometer transducer mount point. The GPS system is published to be accurate to within 10 meters. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: All collected bathymetry values were collected by the 200 kHz Lowrance fathometer. For the data collected in May of 2008, the fathometer was mounted port side aft, directly below the GPS antenna and the resistivity streamer tow point. For the data collected in September of 2008, the fathometer was mounted starboard side aft, directly below the GPS antenna and the resistivity streamer tow point. The transducer was approximately 0.30 meters below the sea surface, and this draft was not corrected for. The Lowrance manufacturer indicates the speed of sound used by the system to convert to depths is 4800 feet/second. All values are assumed to be accurate to within 1 meter. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The continuous resistivity profile (CRP) system used on this cruise was an AGI SuperSting marine system described at the website: www.agiusa.com/marinesystem.shtml. Two different streamers were used for data collection - not simultaneously. One streamer was a 50-m streamer with an 11 electrode array with electrodes spaced 5 meters apart. The other streamer was a 15-m streamer with an 11 electrode array with electrodes spaced 1.5 meters apart. In both cases, the source electrodes are graphite, while the receiver electrodes are stainless steel. A dipole-dipole configuration was used for the data collection in which two fixed current electrodes are assigned with the measurement of voltage potential between electrode pairs in the remaining electrodes. The maximum depth below the water surface the streamer can reach is approximately ΒΌ the streamer length. So for the 50-m streamer, maximum depth is about 12.5 meters, while the 15 meter streamer can reach about 3.75 meters. Each line of data acquisition records several files. The two files necessary for processing are the *.stg and the *.gps file. The STG file contains the resistivity data, while the GPS file contains the navigation information. The navigation system used in concert with the CRP system is a Lowrance LMS-480M with an LGC-2000 GPS antenna and a 200 kHz fathometer transducer. The transducer also contains a temperature sensor. Lowrance indicates the speed of sound used by the system is 4800 feet/second. Both the temperature and depth information are recorded in the logged GPS file. The CRP system images the subsurface electrical properties of an estuarine, riverine or lacustrine environment. Resistivity differences can be attributed to subsurface geology (conductive vs less conductive layers) and hydrogeologic conditions with fresh water exhibiting high resistivity and saline conditions showing low resistivity. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: The data were transferred from the logging computer via AGISSAdmin software version 1.3.2.165. These files were then transferred via a thumb drive to the processing computer. The files included in this publication are the *.crs, *.cmd, *.gps, and *.stg. The two files essential for processing are the GPS and STG files. The GPS file contains the navigation, and in the case of the Lowrance system also includes water depth and temperature. The STG file contains the resistivity measurements from each of the electrodes. The CRS file contains the contact resistance readings. The CMD file contains the parameters for data collection. These last two files aren't necessary for data processing, but can be useful in terms of troubleshooting.

This is the script used for the May 19 (day 8) data collection: >files=`ls *.gps | cut -d. -f1` >files=`ls *.gps | cut -d. -f1` >for file in $files >do > awk -f awkhold $file.gps $file >> day8gps.txt >done The script not only parses the GPS navigation, but concatenates the results into a single file. This script was repeated for days 9, 10, and 11 (May 20, May 21 and May 22 respectively) with the output directed to day9gps.txt, day10gps.txt, and day11gps.txt. For the September cruise, the output files were sept2208gps.txt, sept2308gps.txt, sept2408gps.txt and sept2508gps.txt. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: VI under CYGWIN was used to add the appropriate header line and the comma-delimited text file was imported to ArcMap 9.2: Tools - Add XY Data. The X field is longitude; Y field is latitude, and the Coordinate System was defined as Geographic, WGS84. This "Event Theme" was converted to a shapefile by right-mouse clicking on the layer - Data - Export Data. The resulting shapefiles were day8gps.shp, day9gps.shp, day10gps.shp, day11gps.shp, sept2208gps.shp, sept2308gps.shp sept2408gps.shp, sept2508gps.shp. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: Using ArcMap 9.2 the following attributes were added to the shapefiles: location, streamer, jday, and col_date. Process_Date: 2008 Process_Step: Process_Description: Combine the individual point shapefiles into a single point shapefile using ArcMap 9.2 - ArcToolbox - Data Management Tools - General - Merge Input datasets: day8gps, day9gps, day10gps, day11gps, sept2208gps, sept2308gps, sept2408gps, sept2508gps output: resgpspnts_gsbay.shp Because I had called attribute fields slightly different things between the two cruises, I used the field mapping to make the final shapefile consistent with the other work on Long Island. To do this I mapped the May cruises depth field to depth_m and the tempc field to temp_c. In doing this I had to also remap the September field so I renamed the depth_m to depth_s and the temp_c to temp_s. This would keep the order of the fields consistent with the other work. Process_Date: 201011 Process_Step: Process_Description: Once the composite shapefile was created, I was able to select all the September data points within the table view in ArcMap 9.2, and use the field calculator to copy the information from depth_s to depth_m and temp_s to temp_c. Then I deleted the depth_s and temp_s attributes. Process_Date: 201011 Process_Step: 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.). Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. Updated the link to the field activity. Moved the minimal source information provided to make it the first process step. 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.
