Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9POZ9VH Description: Abstract: The data in this publication map the beach and nearshore environment at Marconi Beach in Wellfleet, MA and provide regional context for the 2021 CoastCam installation that looks out at the coast shared by beachgoers, shorebirds, seals, and sharks. These data were collected as part of field activity 2021-022-FA and a collaboration with the National Park Service at Cape Cod National Seashore to monitor the region that falls within the field of view of CoastCam CACO-02, which are two video cameras aimed at the beach. Starting in February and ending in March 2021, U.S Geological Survey and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted field surveys to collect position and orientation information for the CoastCam cameras and map the field of view. Two new reference marks were established in the Marconi Beach parking area to establish ground control for future surveys. Elevation data were collected using a real time kinematic – satellite navigation system (RTK-GNSS) receiver attached to a pole and walked on the beach. Point data of the beach face were collected along transects. Grain-size analysis was performed on sediment samples collected with a spade along multiple profiles from the bluff base to the intertidal zone. Aerial images of the beach for use in Structure-from-Motion were taken with a camera (Ricoh GRII) and a post-processed kinematic (PPK) system attached to a helium powered balloon-kite (Helikite) and high-precision GPS targets (AeroPoints) were used as ground control points. Bathymetry was collected in the nearshore using a single-beam echosounder mounted on a surf capable self-righting electric autonomous survey vehicle. Agisoft Metashape (v. 1.7.2) was used to create a digital elevation model with the collected imagery and this was merged with the bathymetry in MATLAB (v. 2020) to create a continuous topobathy product. Purpose: May be used as an elevation dataset of Marconi Beach for use by the public, researchers, and others to observe ground conditions and change over time of the bathymetry in front of the Marconi Beach Coastcam. Supplemental_Information: This bathymetric grid represents approximately 0.686 square kilometers of nearshore single beam echo-sounder bathymetry data collected on March 10, 2021 in view of the CoastCam cameras on Marconi Beach. GeoTIFF is not cloud optimized. For more information about the WHCMSC Field Activity, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2021-022-FA.

Logical_Consistency_Report: This file represents single beam echo-sounder bathymetry data collected by Peter Traykovski (WHOI). These data were combined with post-processed kinematic (PPK) orthometric heights collected using a GNSS receiver (EMLID Reach M2) mounted on a self-righting ASV corrected to a base station (JAVA Triumph) onshore in GEOID12B NAVD88 meters. The GNSS antenna is offset from the echo-sounder by 0.43 meters (referred to as Antenna_Z_Offset), and this is taken into account when calculating the depth in the trackline variables, see Processing Steps. Completeness_Report: All collected survey line data were edited for erroneous soundings before being incorporated into the final bathymetric grid, the mask prevents extrapolation of data beyond the bounds but does not exclude any data. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation information was acquired from the GNSS reciever in PPK mode with a Multi-band GNSS antenna that has an estimated horizontal accuracy of 5 cm. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The location information was acquired from the GNSS receiver in PPK mode with a Multi-band GNSS antenna and hot shoe adapter with an estimated vertical accuracy of 5 cm. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The bathymetry was collected by launching the ASV into the water from the surf zone, the boat was controlled near the shore by Peter Traykovski and put on auto-pilot using predetermined tracklines for longer transects offshore. The bathymetry data was processed with the following steps 1. Parsed the binary data (BU353s4 GPS Puck, Time, Position and Echosounder range) into MATLAB (v. 2020b) from the EA24 Echosounder using MATLAB Scripts developed by Peter Traykovski at WHOI - see contact below 2. Post Processed Kinematic (PPK) GNSS (Novatel OEM-V2_L1L2) data from the vessel was corrected using the base station (Java Triumph-1) data in Novatel Inertial Explorer (Version 8.70.8722) using the datum NAD83(2011) and then GEOID 12B for the vertical datum NAVD88. A projection for UTM Zone 19N was also specified to get the Easting and Northing information. An antenna height of 0.0 was used and then the actual antenna height is corrected for in Step 5. 3. Duplicate times were removed before the PPK GNSS positions and altitude (ppk_Height) were interpolated to time of Echosounder samples with the MATLAB function interp1 (linear interpolation) and 'pchip'. 4. Refined time alignment to account for any small time delays between GPS data and Echosounder data collection by using time lagged cross correlation of Echosounder range and PPK GNSS altitude in locations with a relatively flat bottom (17 sec). The GPS measures vertical fluctuation of the boat due to waves and these fluctuations are also visible in echosounder data. The equation in Step 5 removes the vertical fluctuation due to waves from the echosounder data leaving only true bathymetry if GPS and the Echosounder are well synced. The lagged cross correlation processing ensures they are synced optimally. 5. Calculated sea floor elevation (referred to as depth) with reference to the NAVD88 datum in meters by the following equation: Depth = ppk_Height - Antenna_Z_Offset + Echo_altitude; Antenna_Z_Offset = 0.43 m is the offset from the GNSS antenna to the Echosounder transducer on the z-axis of the ASV. 6. Exported interpolated trackline data to CSV file: 2021022FA_Marconi_trackline.csv. 7. Gridded Depth onto 1 m resolution UTM eastings, northings using MATLAB file exchange script regularizedata3d by Jamal (2020), a cubic interpolation with the optimum smoothness coefficient determined with a Monte Carlo optimization procedure for the data regularization. This entails one cross-shore line of data being removed from the processing and the smoothness parameter is adjusted so the overall surface fit best fits the removed data. This is then repeated over all the lines. For the final processing the optimized smoothing parameter is used with all the data. 8. The MATLAB function 'roipoly' returns the mask as a binary image, setting pixels inside the region of interest to 1 and pixels outside the ROI to 0. The boundary is developed so that there is no extrapolated bathymetry data outside the tracklines. The masks extent is the convex hull of the tracklines positions (x,y) and a bounding z coordinate of 0.8 representing the surface in reference to NAVD88 in meters. 9. Export gridded 1 m data in NAD83(2011)/UTM Zone 19N in NAVD88 meters as a GeoTIFF: 2021022FA_Marconi_bathymetry_1m.tif. Note that using NAVD88 as a height, means that the depths are not true-depths but the elevation of the seafloor above or below the geoid. Jamal (2020).
