Other ID: Frog Creek Bathymetry Survey and Total Station (Submerged) Topographic Survey
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Cliff Hearn
Affiliate Investigator(s):
Information Specialist(s): Billy Reynolds
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Single Beam, Time Series: Mooring (physical oceanography)
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To provide additional bathymetry of Frog Creek a freshwater tributary into Tampa Bay that will enhance the Tampa Bay Model Circulation Model construction
Vehicle(s):
Start Port/Location: Frog Creek Landing, Tampa Bay
End Port/Location: Frog Creek Landing, Tampa Bay
Start Date: 2007-10-09

Equipment Used: Tripods, Marimatech Echosounder, Choke Ring Antenna, Ashtech Z-Xtreme DGPS
Information to be Derived: High precision single beam bathymetry (X, Y, Z) data and submerged topographic creek transect points; purpose being to acquire the latest bathymetry to provide creek basin morphology to supplement the Tampa Bay Circulation Model
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Surveyed over 10 kilometers of tracklines; Collected 6 days of static base station occupation time on National Geodetic Survey (NGS) benchmarks
