Bathymetry, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities in Long Island Sound, shows the terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During April 2009 NOAA completed hydrographic survey H12012 offshore in the northeastern Sound, and during April 2010 and May 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: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-010-FA and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-015-FA. Purpose: To release an interpretation of bottom features based on bathymetry data collected during NOAA survey H12012 and sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-010-FA and 2010-015-FA offshore in northeastern Long Island Sound, in a geographic, WGS84 coordinate system. These data can be used to provide information on surface geology and sedimentary processes.

Multibeam bathymetry used in the interpretation were collected during 20090418 to 20090430. Source_Citation_Abbreviation: Information unavailable from original metadata Source_Contribution: The original acoustic data (multibeam bathymetry) acquired during NOAA survey H12012 aboard the NOAA ship Thomas Jefferson and the portion of the sediment samples and bottom photography collected during USGS surveys 2010-010-FA and 2010-015-FA that fall within the study area. Historical grain-size data used in the interpretation are from Poppe and others (1998). Process_Step: Process_Description: GeoTIFF images of the multibeam bathymetry from survey H12012 and the point data layer from grain-size analyses and descriptions of sediments collected from this survey area, both those from this study and those from the historical data, were imported into the ArcView 3.3 GIS project view. Bottom features were interpreted based on geomorphology and relief in the bathymetry and on the bottom photography and textural analyses. The individually interpreted features (rocky, sand waves, megaripples, gravelly pavement, and dredge spoils) were outlined using the available graphic tools then converted to an Esri shapefile using ArcView 3.3. Polygons were traced and union and subtraction edits were conducted at scales of 1:3,500 to 1:5,500. Use of this interpretation datalayer is not recommended at scales of less than 1:24,000.

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 field activity link. 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.
