A U.S. Geological Survey cruise was conducted in the summer of 2014 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Data collected during the 2014 cruise include swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic-reflection profiles, acoustic Doppler current profiler, and sample and bottom photograph data. Processed data in raster and vector format are released here for the swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and seismic-reflection profiles. More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/ and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA. Purpose: This dataset contains trackline navigation for approximately 2800 km of Klein sidescan-sonar data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during cruise 2014-002-FA along the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and VA. This information can help spatially correlate the sidescan mosaic image and other data in the GIS.

The M/V Scarlet Isabella can only survey in water depths greater than 8 meters, so there are some gaps in the mosaics where the vessel had to avoid crossing shallow shoals. Most of the gaps were planned with breaks in tracklines or maneuvers around the shoals. Most of the data were acquired roughly parallel to the orientation of Assateague Island at an average speed of 5 knots. Completeness_Report: All of the Klein navigation data collected during field activity 2014-002-FA are included in this shapefile and were processed with SonarWiz version 5.07.0008. Klein data were not collected during the entire survey. While regional seismic-reflection profile lines were being acquired with an S-Boom system between 20140617 and 20140626 the Klein 3000 remained on deck to avoid signal crosstalk and instrument entanglement. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: During Field activity 20014-002-FA, the Klein 3000 was towed from the stern A-frame of the M/V Scarlett Isabella. Differential GPS (DGPS) position data were provided by a Hemisphere DGPS receiver and recorded to the raw data files (XTF) via SonarPro (version 10.0) on the sonar acquisition computer. The GPS antenna was mounted on the port side of the acquisition lab van. All GPS data during this survey were referenced to the WGS84 horizontal datum. The horizontal offsets between the GPS antenna and the sheave on the A-frame were measured prior to the survey (x: +4.4m; y: -12.9m; z: 1.0m). The side-scan tow cable was deployed through a 3PS digital block cable counter attached to the A-frame. Real-time cable-out measurements were transmitted via serial connection to the SonarPro acquisition software, which calculated tow-fish layback. All horizontal offsets were applied in the acquisition software so the navigation recorded in the XTF data reflect the position including the layback offset. The layback calculations do not account for fish motion behind the vessel, which is caused by sea state and vessel speed induced changes in the angle and scope of the tow cable. DGPS positional accuracy is estimated to be within 3-5 m; WAAS enable DGPS is estimated to be less than 3 m. Taking the additional fish motion and cable movement into account, as well as the mosaicking process, the positional accuracy for this dataset is estimated to be within 20 m.

Source_Citation_Abbreviation: raw sidescan data (XTF) Source_Contribution: Data acquisition at sea: Sidescan sonar data were collected with a Klein 3000 dual frequency (132/445 kHz) sidescan-sonar towfish on the M/V Scarlet Isablella. The sonar was towed from the stern A-frame of the vessel. A 3PS digital block cable counter was used to measure the amount of tow cable deployed, and cable out values were transmitted via serial connection to the SonarPro acquisition software (versions 10.0) for layback calculation. Tracklines are generally spaced 200m apart.

The trackline shapefile was checked to ensure there were no severely spurious navigation fixes. XTools Pro (version 10.2.1257) for ArcGIS desktop was used (Table Operations - Table Restructure) to reorganize and add fields to the polyline shapefile's attribute table. The length field ('Length_km') was also added and then populated using 'Calculate Geometry' (Property = Length, Use coordinate system of the data frame = WGS 1984 UTM Zone 18N, Unit = Kilometers), which can be accessed by right clicking on the attribute field name in the table view.
