Description:
Abstract: These data were collected in a collaboration between the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The primary objective of this program was to collect baseline bathymetry for Muskeget Channel, Massachusetts, and identify areas of morphologic change within and around the channel. Repeat surveys in select areas were collected one month apart to monitor change. These data were collected to support an assessment of the effect on sediment transport that a tidal instream energy conversion facility would have within Muskeget Channel. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor topography are important first steps in monitoring bedform migration, fish habitat, marine resources, and environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The data include high-resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, and navigation data. These data were collected during two surveys between October 2010 and November 2011 onboard the research vessel (RV) Rafael using an SEA Ltd. SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kilohertz). More information about the cruise can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity Web page at https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-072-FA.
Purpose: These raw navigation data are included as an archive documenting the survey area surrounding Muskeget Channel, Massachusetts and the instrumentation used to manage the ship's navigation.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report: These are the original raw data files recorded by the HYPACK navigation software. No additional checks or corrections have been made to these files.
Completeness_Report: These files represent four of the five global positioning systems used on the R/V Rafael during cruise 2010-072-FA. The GPS data recorded to HYPACK include the following receivers: a Novatel DLV3 (RTK), Communications Systems International (CSI), Inc. LGBX Pro (DGPS), an Ashtech Zxtreme (RTK), and a Garmin 5312 (echosounder for boat navigation). An additional antenna and receiver for the Coda Octopus F180 was used for navigation for the Swath interferometric and attitude data, and imported directly into SwathPlus without being logged in HYPACK. The Novatel DL-V3 (RTK) was used to acquire z-values for tidal corrections to the bathy. The Ashtech Z-extreme (RTK) was used for redundancy and recorded to HYPACK, but was not recorded for any instrument.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Positions of the ship (HYPACK line nav.) were determined using a Communications Systems International (CSI), Inc. LGBX Pro differential global positioning system (DGPS) antenna mounted above the cabin on the R/V Rafael. Swath bathymetry, continuous sound velocity at the sonar head, and attitude data were determined using a CodaOctopus F180 DGPS antenna mounted on a rigid, vertical pole aproximately 3-m above the swath transducers. A Novatel DL-V3 Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and an Ashtech Z-xtreme antenna, mounted above the swath transducers, were used to acquire water-level heights for tidal corrections. A Garmin 5312 was used to drive the boat and monitor water depths. All DGPS data are assumed to be accurate to within + or - 1 to 2 meters.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical (RTK) heights were collected with a Novatel receiver and sn Ashtech Z-Extreme receiver, then recorded to HYPACK Survey software. RTK positions were used to post-process tidal corrections for bathymetry data (using the Novatel heights). RTK positional accuracy is sub-meter. EC1 depth values were collected with a Furuno FRS 1000 plotter/radar/sounder, which has an assumed vertical accuracy of 0.5 meters.

Source_Contribution: Raw navigation data were saved in HYPACK format. File name convention is LLL_TTTT.JJJ, where LLL is the HYPACK line number, TTTT is the 24 hour time for the beginning of the file, and JJJ is the Julian Day of data collection. Times were recorded in UTC (Coordinate Universal Time).
Process_Step:
Process_Description: Raw HYPACK (9.0.5.17) navigation files were transferred from the navigation acquisition computer to an external drive. The raw HYPACK navigation files are stored in directories indicating the acquisition Julian Day. For example, filename 004_0850.287 represents HYPACK line number 004, start time 0850, and Julian Day 287. Times are recorded in UTC (Coordinate Universal Time).

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. Added the DOI link in the Identification section - both as the first link and as part of the Larger Work citation. The source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. Fixed a link in the distribution section. Removed offline distribution. 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.
