Description:

Abstract:

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetry and sidescan-sonar imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April-May 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12013 offshore of the entrance to the Connecticut River, and during November 2009 and April 2010 bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. Two interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder and the ground-truth data used to verify them. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-059-FA and http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-010-FA

Purpose:

The purpose of his data set is to release the locations, identifiers, grain-size data and(or) textural descriptions of surficial sediments collected at 18 stations on bathymetric data of the sea floor off the mouth of the Connecticut River in eastern Long Island Sound in Geographic, WGS84. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All attributes were checked in a consistent manner.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.

Completeness_Report:

All available grain-size data and lithologic descriptions from within the study area acquired during USGS cruises 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA are included in this data set. Stations range from OL1 to OL19, but there is no station OL12 due to weather.

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, the antenna was located less than 5 m from the block on the davit, water depths were generally shallow, and scope of the cable minimal. Therefore, SEABOSS offset from the antenna was less than 10 m.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Depths provided are in meters, uncorrected for tides, and based on readings from the ship's fathometer corrected for draft.

Process_Description:

Thirteen samples were collected with a Van Veen grab sampler (Blackwood and Parolski, 2001) equipped with a still and video camera. Visual descriptions were used for rocky/bouldery stations at 5 additional stations where samples could not be collected. Samples were analyzed in the sediment laboratory at the USGS Woods Hole Science Center. Coarse fraction determined by sieve; fine fraction determined by Coulter Counter. See Poppe, Williams, and Paskevich (2005) for analytical specifics.

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 source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. 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.

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Textural data and visual descriptions produced from that portion of the samples and photography of USGS cruises 2009-059-FA and 2010-010-FA that fall within the study area are presented in this dataset. Visual descriptions of sediment texture were used in areas where samples could not be collected (e.g., boulder fields). These stations can be differentiated by the presence of the nodata value '-9999' in all of the numeric analytical fields. However, the navigation and station identifiers are known.
