Principal Investigator(s): Bruce Jaffe

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Amy Foxgrover

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Multibeam, Sonar: Sound Velocity

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Measure tidal flat and subtidal morphology. Collect baseline data set for change detection.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Redwood City, CA

End Port/Location: Redwood City, CA

Start Date: 2010-03-25

End Date: 2010-03-27

Equipment Used: GPS, multibeam, soundvelocityprofiler

Information to be Derived: Bathymetry and Acoustic Backscatter This effort is part of a multi-disciplinary GD/BRD/WRD study entitled, Effects of regional wetland restoration on mud flats of the South San Francisco Bay: avian ecology, food webs, and sediment supply . Other surveys included in this effort: S-16-08-SF, S-1-09-SF and S-3-09-SF.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered:

Staff: Michael Boyle, David Finlayson, Amy Foxgrover, Thomas Reiss

Affiliate Staff:
Jamie Grover

Notes: South Bay Salt Ponds. Broadcast Base station RAV3 was used for the GPS navigation for swath bathymetry. The coordinates for RAV3 are in the NAD83(2007) reference frame and that the vertical datum is a height-mod elevation of NAVD88. See Navigation metadata for coordinates.

File list
March 2010 bathymetry collected near Dumbarton Bridge in south San Francisco Bay, California (Bathymetric survey data were collected in March 2010 just south of Dumbarton Bridge in south San Francisco Bay, California. Portions of the main channel and western shallows/intertidal mudflats were surveyed using an interferometric sidescan sonar system following procedures detailed in Foxgrover and others, 2011. The bathymetry is provided as a 1-m resolution raster in geoTIFF format, referenced to the vertical datum of mean lower low water (MLLW). To convert to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), subtract a static offset of 0.37 m (datum conversions provided in Foxgrover and others, 2007).)
