Description:

Abstract:

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities off southern New England, shows the character and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12007 in the vicinity of Cross Rip Channel in Nantucket Sound off southern Cape Cod, Massachusetts and during June 2011 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data and the ground-truth data used to verify them.

Purpose:

The purpose of this dataset is to release the locations and identifiers of 90 bottom photographs collected at 24 stations on topographic data of the sea floor in the vicinity of Cross Rip Channel, central Nantucket Sound, offshore southeastern Massachusetts. The photos were collected with a modified Van Veen grab sampler modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 2011-006-FA, conducted June 2011.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All attributes were checked in a consistent manner

Logical_Consistency_Report:

No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data.

Completeness_Report:

Locations of all 90 acceptable still photographs of the sea floor collected in Nantucket Sound during R/V RAFAEL cruise 2011-006-FA were included in this data set. Other photographs collected in Rhode Island Sound and Block Island Sound during this cruise are not included. Unacceptable photographs not included were test shots on deck, water column pre-trips, and images where the bottom was totally obscured by turbidity.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Navigation was by differential GPS. Although GPS gave the ship's position rather than that of the SEABOSS, water depths were generally shallow and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 5 m.

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.32 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 orignal metadata only had source information time period of content. In order to pass the metadata harvester, the rest of the required source information fields were populated. Had to remove a distribution format for the text version of the data. The text file was the text metadata, not data. 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.
