- Description:

- Abstract:
- The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is working
cooperatively with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) to interpret the surficial geology in estuaries along the coast
of the northeastern United States. The purpose of our present study is
to define the sea floor morphology and sedimentary environments in an
area of Rhode Island Sound using sidescan sonar imagery, multibeam
bathymetry, and seismic records. 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 in image of the 4-m bathymetry generated from
NOAA Survey H11320 in Rhode Island Sound, Rhode Island

-
- 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.
