Abstract:
A geophysical and geological survey was conducted at the mouth of the Connecticut River from Old Saybrook to Essex, Connecticut, in September 2012. Approximately 230 linear kilometers of digital Chirp subbottom (seismic-reflection) and 234-kilohertz interferometric sonar (bathymetric and backscatter) data were collected along with sediment samples, riverbed photographs, and (or) video at 88 sites within the geophysical survey area. Sediment grab samples were collected at 72 of the 88 sampling sites, video was acquired at 68 sites, and photographs of the river bottom were taken at 38 sites. These survey data are used to characterize the riverbed by identifying sediment-texture and riverbed morphology. More information can be found on the web page for the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center field activity: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2012-024-FA. Data collected during the 2012 survey can be obtained here: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7PG1Q7V.
Purpose:
These raw navigation data are provided as an archive of the navigation data files acquired during USGS survey 2012-024-FA in the Connecticut River. Survey 2012-024-FA was conducted aboard the R/V Rafael. HYPACK software (version 12.0.8.12) was used to log these data.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
In the header of each HYPACK file, DEV3 is erroneously labeled as "F190" however the system used was really the Coda F180 RTK-GPS. The EC1 messages (DEV1) represents "dummy" data and should not be used.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These are the original files recorded by the HYPACK navigation software. These data were checked but no modifications or corrections have been made to these files. File name convention is LLL_TTTT.DDD, where LLL is the user defined planned HYPACK line number, TTTT is the 24-hour time for the beginning of the file, and DDD is the Julian day (JD).
Completeness_Report:
These files represent all the navigation recorded by the HYPACK software during the geophysical portion of USGS survey 2012-024-FA in the Connecticut River. HYPACK files from September 15 (JD259) were recorded during equipment calibration testing (SWATHPlus patch test and L1F1) which were located in Long Island Sound, just outside of the mouth of the Connecticut River. L160F1 and L160F2 were transit lines to the dock on the final day of surveying. Time gaps occurred during this field activity where no surveying was done due to bad weather, rough seas and stops in surveying for equipment issues. No sonar data were collected on Tuesday 20120918.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Real-Time Kinematic Global Positioning System (RTK-GPS) and Differential GPS (DGPS) navigation data were collected during survey 2012-024-FA using the Coda F180 RTK-GPS, Novatel DL-V3 RTK-GPS and the Hemisphere DGPS. Positioning data from all these sensors were logged using HYPACK navigation software version 12.0.8.12 (www.hypack.com). These data were incorporated into the geophysical data during acquisition and logged to these HYPACK files in the event that post-processing the horizontal and vertical positional information was necessary. The DGPS horizontal positional accuracy is estimated to be within 3-5 m and the accuracy of RTK-GPS is estimated to be less than 1 m. The antenna for the RTK-GPS was located on the same pole that the SWATHplus-M sonar was mounted (on the ship's bow). The antenna for the DGPS was mounted on the aft of the R/V Rafael's cabin just port of the centerline.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Real-Time Kinematic GPS height data (referenced to the WGS 84 ellipsoid) were recorded using navigation software from HYPACK, Inc. (www.hypack.com). Vertical accuracy of RTK-GPS is estimated to be less than 1 m.

The times recorded in the navigation file are in UTC. The EC1 messages, although present in many of the HYPACK files, are not verified. Keywords and the information they provide are as follows:
FTP: The first record located at the top of the header used to identify the file format.
VER: HYPACK version number.
INF: General survey information filled in by the data technician. This typically contains the vessel name, agencies involved with the survey, and the location of the survey.
ELL: Ellipsoid information. The name of the ellipsoid followed by the semi-major axis in meters and the flattening ratio.
PRO: Project information record where TME indicates Transverse Mercator and the central meridian of -75 indicates UTM, zone 18N.

DEV [#]: [Insert data about cruise device #]
DEV 0: For survey 2012-024-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 0 are lines of Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) collected with the Hemisphere DGPS.
DEV 1: No usable lines of data from Device 1 occur in these HYPACK navigation files. This device is labeled as "bathy" however this is a dummy echosounder value and does not represent valid, corrected or verified data. See EC1 and SDDPT note below.
DEV 2: For survey 2012-024-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 2 are lines of Real Time Kinematic GPS data collected from the Novatel Dl-V3.
DEV 3: For survey 2012-024-FA: Indicates that lines collected with device designation 3 are the NMEA string GPGGA lines of Real Time Kinematic GPS data collected from the Coda F180. ***Note: this is mislabeled in the header as "F190".***
OFF: Device Offsets in the format: OFF dn n1 n2 n3 n4 n5 n6 n7, where dn = device number; n1 = starboard or port offset (positive starboard); n2 = forward or aft offset (positive forward); n3 = height (antenna) or depth (transducer draft) offset; n4 = yaw rotation angle (positive for clockwise rotation); n5 = roll rotation angle (port side up is positive); n6 = pitch rotation angle (bow up is positive); n7 = device latency in seconds.
DDT: identifies the device that the computer clock is being synchronized to.

LBP: planned line begin point (easting and northing, UTM, zone 18N, meters).
LNN: planned line name.
USR: user information.
EOH: end of header.
The remaining elements have similar information in the first 3 columns. The first column will indicate the data type, the second column will indicate the device that recorded the information (0 for [Device 0] and 1 for [Device 1]) and the third column is the time tag (seconds past midnight) that is also sometimes referred to as the latency. The remaining information on each line is specific to the data type. Not all data types were recorded in each HYPACK file.
POS: Position of the ship in the format: POS dn t x y, where dn=device number; t=time tag (seconds past midnight); x=easting; y=northing. On this cruise these values are in UTM, Zone 18N, WGS84.

During survey 2012-024-FA there were several different messages were sent from the GPS systems: $GPGGA, $GPRMC, $GPZDA and $GPVTG were standard throughout the survey. These message strings will be defined below.
TID: Tide correction in the format: TID dn t dc, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), dc = draft correction.
EC1: Echo sounding (singe frequency) in the format: EC1 dn t rd, where dn=device number, t=time tag (seconds past midnight), rd=raw depth.
