Fire Island Shoreface Bathymetric Data collected with Personal Watercraft and Backpack along Fire Island, New York (2014) as a GeoTIFF

Scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey St. Petersburg Coastal
and Marine Science Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, conducted a
bathymetric survey of Fire Island, New York, from October 5 to 10,
2014. The U.S. Geological Survey is involved in a post-Hurricane
Sandy effort to map and monitor the morphologic evolution of the
wilderness breach, which formed in October 2012 during Hurricane
Sandy, as part of the Hurricane Sandy Supplemental Project GS2-2B.
During this study, bathymetry data were collected, using single-beam
echo sounders and global positioning systems mounted to personal
watercraft, along the Fire Island shoreface and within the
wilderness breach, Fire Island Inlet, Narrow Bay, and Great South
Bay east of Nicoll Bay. Additional bathymetry and elevation data
were collected using backpack and wheel-mounted global positioning
systems along the subaerial beach (foreshore and backshore), and
flood shoals and shallow channels within the wilderness breach and
adjacent shoreface.

美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey）位于佛罗里达州圣彼得堡的海岸与海洋科学中心的科研人员，于2014年10月5日至10日对纽约州火岛（Fire Island）开展了水深测量作业。作为"桑迪飓风补充项目GS2-2B"的组成部分，美国地质调查局正推进桑迪飓风灾后相关工作，旨在测绘并监测2012年10月桑迪飓风期间形成的荒野冲溃缺口的地貌演化过程。本次研究中，科研人员借助搭载于个人水上载具的单波束测深仪（single-beam echo sounders）与全球定位系统（global positioning systems），沿火岛近岸带、该荒野冲溃缺口、火岛水道、狭窄湾、尼科尔湾以东的南大湾采集水深数据。此外，科研人员还采用背负式与车载式全球定位系统，对陆上滩涂（前滩与后滩）、该荒野冲溃缺口及邻近近岸带内的漫滩浅滩与浅水航道采集补充水深与高程数据。
