Dataset description: Contours-Oregon OCS Floating Wind Farm Site

This data release contains data from the USGS field activity 2014-607-FA, a survey of the Oregon Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Floating Wind Farm Site in 2014. The bathymetry raster was generated from bathymetry data collected by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during the period from August 20 to September 1, 2014 using a Reson 7111 multibeam echosounder. The mapping mission collected bathymetry data from about 163 m to 566 m depths on the Oregon outer continental shelf. The acquisition was funded by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Contours were generated using the ESRI Contour tool in spatial analyst. The contour interval is 10 meters.

2014-607-FA	Reson 7111 The SeaBat 7111 produces bathymetry data suitable for the generation of high resolution hydrographic charts exceeding international standards in water depths from 3 to 1000m. Operating at 100kHz, the system forms 101, 201 high-density, equi-angle or 301 equi-distant beams to cover a total receive sector of 150¬∞. The system is pitch stabilized. The SeaBat 7111 transducer array is comprised of a cylindrical receive array and a linear transmitter array, mounted together on a support cradle that provides mounting points to the vessel. Lightweight and portable, the array can be installed temporarily over the side of a vessel of opportunity a first for a system in this frequency range.
