48841 AISDataHandler2010Metadata Data Set Published / External 55360 Automatic Identification System (AIS) Project Completed 2012-06-13 The 2010 United States Automatic Identification System Database contains vessel traffic data for planning purposes within the U.S. coastal waters. The database is composed of 204 self-contained File Geodatabases (FGDB). Each FGDB represents one month of data for a single UTM zone. The UTM zones represented cover the entire United States and include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19. Each FGDB consists of one feature class, four tables, and two relationship classes. The Broadcast point feature class contains the position reports, which have been pre-filtered to a one-minute time step. The Voyage table contains elements of the static data reports that are updated for each ship voyage. The Vessel table contains elements of the static data reports that are specific to a particular vessel. The BaseStations table lists the base stations collecting data for a particular month/UTM zone. The AttributeUnits table contains a list of units for each of the attribute fields in the Broadcast, Voyage, and Vessel tables. The BroadcastHasVessel relationship class relates the broadcast points to the vessel table records. The BroadcastHasVoyage relationship class relates the broadcast points to the voyage table records. To support coastal planning and other activities pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act, Energy Policy Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act. 11037 Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Geographic: Latitude_Resolution: 0.0001 Longitude_Resolution: 0.0001 Geographic_Coordinate_Units: Decimal degrees Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: D_WGS_1984 Ellipsoid_Name: WGS_84 Semi-major_Axis: 6356752.3142451793 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257222101 Theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE/MANAGEMENT Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category planningCadastre Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category transportation Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA Theme AIS Theme Automatic Identification System Theme Nautical charting Theme coastal and marine spatial planning Theme ocean planning Theme position report Theme static data report Theme vessel Theme voyage Spatial Atlantic Ocean Spatial Bering Sea Spatial Great Lakes Spatial Gulf of Mexico Spatial Pacific Ocean Spatial UTM Zone 1 Spatial UTM Zone 10 Spatial UTM Zone 11 Spatial UTM Zone 14 Spatial UTM Zone 15 Spatial UTM Zone 16 Spatial UTM Zone 17 Spatial UTM Zone 18 Spatial UTM Zone 19 Spatial UTM Zone 2 Spatial UTM Zone 3 Spatial UTM Zone 4 Spatial UTM Zone 5 Spatial UTM Zone 6 Spatial UTM Zone 7 Spatial UTM Zone 8 Spatial UTM Zone 9 Spatial United States Stratum sea level Office for Coastal Management Charleston SC Data Set None Planned Map (digital) Users must assume responsibility to determine the appropriate use of these data.

Positional accuracy reflects the specifications and methods of the original data producer and has not been modified for the generation of this product. Points were filtered to a one-minute time step before publishing the data. Vessel identification data was altered prior to distribution by encoding the MMSI numbers and removing the vessel name, IMO, and call sign information. Point data. No topology between points. 2010 NAIS Database U.S. Coast Guard Range 2010-01-01 2010-12-31 Data received in 8760 hourly files of AIS messages for the entire United States. | Type of Source Media: disc 1 The data was divided spatially by UTM zone and aggregated temporally to monthly datasets using AISParser. The data was then converted to FGDB using the AIS data model created for this project and a custom script which implements AISParser and ArcObjects. 2012-01-01T00:00:00 2010 NAIS Database 49032 Entity 49033 Entity 49031 Entity 49034 Entity 49035 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:48841 Anne Ball 2017-11-14T15:55:42 Jesse Brass 2026-05-12T14:34:41 2019-01-24 Office for Coastal Management OCM 1002 Public No No 2019-01-24 1 Year 2020-01-24
