Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Woods Hole, a passage between the Elizabeth Islands and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In November 2007, bottom photographs, seismic-reflection profiles, and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey. Purpose: To release a GeoTIFF of the 455-kHz sidescan-sonar data generated during NOAA survey H11077 in the vicinity of Woods Hole, in a geographic coordinate system.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The sidescan-sonar data were acquired with a Klein T5000 sidescan-sonar system hull mounted to a 29' aluminum launch deployed from the NOAA ship Whiting. The system was set to sweep 100 m to either side of the launch tracks. The system emits port and starboard 50°-wide beams tilted down 20° from horizontal, and transmits at 455 kHz. The data were acquired in XTF (extended Triton data format), recorded digitally through an ISIS data acquisition system, and processed using CARIS SIPS (Sidescan Image Processing) software for quality control, and to produce a composite sidescan-sonar image at 0.5-m horizontal resolution. As part of this process, the sidescan-sonar data were demultiplexed and filtered to remove speckle noise and to correct for slant-range distortions. Image 'shine through', to account for areas of overlap, and auto-contrast adjustment were applied. Tonal artifacts caused by inaccurate across-track normalization present on the sidescan-sonar imagery are minor. Contrast enhancement based on the dynamic range of the data was applied to the mosaic and it was then projected into UTM Zone 19 to produce the final enhanced image.
