- Abstract:
- The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working
cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association
(NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast
of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is
to interpret the distributions of surficial sediments and sedimentary
environments in an area of Narragansett Bay using sidescan sonar
imagery, high-resolution bathymetry, and sediment data. The mosaic and
bathymetry presented herein covers an area of the sea floor in central
Narragansett Bay. The mosaic, bathymetry, and their interpretations
serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability
of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic
habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes
that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the
distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community
structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research,
monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics and
bathymetry images also serve as base maps for subsequent
sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because
precise information on environmental setting is important for selection
of sampling sites and for accurate interpretations of point
measurements.
- Purpose:
- To release the 1-m bathymetry image generated from NOAA
survey H11310 in Central Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.

- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- The multibeam data for this survey were acquired in
XTF (extended Triton data format) and recorded digitally through an
ISIS data acquisition system. Once digitally recorded, the XTF data
were processed using CARIS HIPS/SIPS software to quality control the
data and to incorporate sound velocity and tidal corrections. Data were
gridded to 1 m; vertical datum is mean lower low water.

read easily into ArcGIS programs. A geographic grid was interpolated
from the UTM grid using bilinear interpolation.
