Field Activity S1010SF

Identifier S1010SF
Alternate names S-10-10-SF,DFHA0
Purpose Measure tidal flat and subtidal morphology. Collect baseline data set for change detection.
Description United States Geological Survey, Pacific Science Center. Chief Scientist: Bruce Jaffe. Survey data of field activity S-10-10-SF in Dumbarton salt flats, San Francisco Bay, CA from 03/25/2010 to 03/27/2010
Location CA
Info 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.
Comments 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.

March 2010 bathymetry collected near Dumbarton Bridge in south San Francisco Bay, California multibeam 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). Amy Foxgrover
