39212 TJ_DeepCoralSlope_2007 Data Set Published / External 37181 Deep_Coral Project Completed 2012 This dataset contains a unified GeoTiff with 30x30 meter cell size representing the slope (in degrees) of the multibeam bathymetry of the Charleston Bump off of the South Atlantic Bight, derived from data collected in 2007 by the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson. NOAA's NOS/NCCOS/CCMA Biogeography Branch, in collaboration with the College of Charleston, as well as the personal aboard the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson , and private sector partners, acquired multibeam bathymetry data in the South Atlantic Bight from 05/23/2007 to 05/28/2007. Data was acquired with a hull-mounted Kongsberg Simrad EM 1002 multibeam echosounder (95 kHz). Data has all correctors applied (attitude, sound velocity) and has been reduced to mean lower low water (MLLW) using final approved tides and zoning from NOAA COOPS. Data is in UTM Zone 17 north, datum NAD83. The processed CARIS data was used to generate a CARIS BASE surface based on swath angle. The CARIS Export option "BASE Surface to Image" was then used to create a GeoTiff of the priority areas. Slope was derived from this surface using the slope calculator, a function of ESRI Arc10 Spatial Analyst Slope tool extension. The multibeam data was processed as part of a mulitagency cooperative deep-sea coral assessment. The slope derivitive of the multibeam data is to provide data for habitat analysis and deliniation. 348 Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category elevation Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category environment Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category geoscientificInformation Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category imageryBaseMapsEarthCover Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Geographic Information > Bathymetry > Slope Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Reef Habitat > Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry >Slope Theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category Bathymetry/Topography Theme Bathymetry Theme Benthic Theme Biogeography Theme Charleston Bump Theme College of Charleston Theme Continental Shelf Theme Coral Theme Deep Corals Theme GIS Theme Habitat Theme MBES Theme Multibeam Theme NOAA Theme NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson Theme Raster Theme Reef Theme Seafloor Theme Simrad EM1002 Theme Slope Theme SoNAR Theme South Atlantic Bight Theme South Carolina Theme Tiff Temporal 2007 Spatial CoRIS Place Thesaurus COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > South Carolina Spatial South Atlantic Ocean National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Silver Spring MD Data Set None Planned raster digital data These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.

Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 10 This GeoTiff is sourced from a CARIS gridded dataset. The original full-resolution multibeam data was used to create a downsampled uniform-resolution CARIS BASE (Bathymetry Associated with Statistical Error) surface grid with a best depth component. The downsampled grid nodes from that depth surface were then exported and used to generate the ESRI Grid. Some positional shifts may have occurred between the original data points and the transformed grid. Even though the survey was conducted to meet IHO standards, all users should independently analyze the dataset according to their own needs and standards to determine data usability.

Multibeam data were acquired in .all format with a hull-mounted Kongsburg Simrad EM1002 (95 kHz). Backscatter snippet collection was enabled. Line spacing for acquisition was three times the water depth, and data was retained out to 60 degrees from nadir. Heave, roll, pitch and heading correctors were collected using an Applanix POS/MV Model 320 V4 inertial measurement unit (IMU) and associated Trimble GPS antennas. Sound velocity profiles were acquired with a Seabird Electronics SeaCat SBE19P CTD profiler and processed using NOAA's Velocwin V8.85 software, then applied directly to the raw data. Positioning was obtained using Trimble Zephyr GPS receivers. 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Raw Multibeam Data 2 Raw .all data were converted and processed using CARIS HIPS and Sips 7.0 software, resulting in a CARIS HDCS format dataset with all correctors applied. Attitude and SWMB data was cleaned of fliers, and SWMB data was reviewed in subset mode by a NOAA contractor. 2007-01-01T00:00:00 HDCS Processed Multibeam Data 3 After being submitted to CCMA by the contractor,CARIS HIPS v7.0 was used to generate a CARIS BASE surface (similar to a DTM), based on weighted swath angle, from the processed HDCS data. Then CARIS export tool "BASE Surface to Image" was used to export a GeoTiff in NAD83 UTM zone 17N. 2007-01-01T00:00:00 CARIS BASE Surface 4 A GeoTIFF of source bathymetry was input into the Slope calculator tool, a component of the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. The output grid of calculated slope, with units in degrees, was created with vertical exaggeration z=1 and with the same grid resolution as the source bathymetry. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 Pathfinder03_bathy_30m.tif gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:39212 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-05T12:51:14 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2025-05-15T19:16:11 2017-11-09 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NCCOS 1002 Public No No 2017-11-09 1 Year 2018-11-09
