- 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 bathymetry
presented herein covers an area of the sea floor in central
Narragansett Bay. The 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 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
interpretation of point measurements.
- Purpose:
- This text file contains the multibeam bathymetry data
acquired during NOAA survey H11310 of Central Narragansett Bay. Data
are recorded as XYZ triples with coordinates recorded in UTM.

bathymetry data.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
- The multibeam data for this survey was 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.
