Bathymetric data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a framework for research and management activities along southern Narragansett Bay, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During September 2014, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Narragansett Bay. For more information on the ground-truth survey see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-046-FA. Purpose: To release a grid of the 1-m bathymetry generated from NOAA survey H12324 in Narragansett Bay in UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Multibeam-echosounder (MBES) data were collected aboard the 30-foot NOAA Survey Vessel S3002, using a hull-mounted Kongsberg Simrad EM3002. This system has a 130-degree swath width and a maximum ping rate of 40 Hz. Positioning was determined by differential global positioning system (DGPS) which received corrections from Acushnet, Massachusetts. Water levels are mean lower low water and were corrected for tides using National Water Level Observation Network stations in Newport, Rhode Island, and Quonset Point, R.I. MBES data were processed (tide correction, merging with navigation data, TPU calculation, data cleaning, and CUBE BASE surface creation) using Computer Aided Resource Information System (CARIS) Hydrographic Information Processing System (HIPS) software. Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) files were uploaded to the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). Vertical datum is mean lower low water; X and Y units are meters; UTM Zone 19, NAD 83.

The default value for resolution (just shy of 1 m) was used. Overlap between different resolutions gives priority to the deeper dataset. This process step and all subsequent steps were performed by the same person, Katherine McMullen.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: 324_utmgrid.asc Process_Date: 2015 Source_Produced_Citation_Abbreviation: h12324_1m_utm 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. 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.
