Contours--Offshore Scott Creek, California

This part of DS 781 presents data for the bathymetric contours for several seafloor maps of the Offshore Scott Creek map area, California. The vector data file is included in "Contours_OffshoreScottCreek.zip", which is accessible from http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7CJ8BJW. 10-m interval contours of the Offshore Scott Creek map area, California, were generated from bathymetry data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and by California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Mapping was completed between 2006 and 2009 using a combination of a 244-kHz Reson 8101 multibeam echosounder and a 234-kHz SEA SWATHplus bathymetric sidescan-sonar system. The mapping missions collected bathymetry data from about the 10-m isobath to beyond the 3-nautical-mile limit of California’s State Waters. Bathymetric contours at 10-m intervals were generated from a modified 2-m bathymetric surface. The original surface was smoothed using the Focal Mean tool in ArcGIS and a circular neighborhood with a radius of 20 to 30 meters (depending on the area). The contours were generated from this smoothed surface using the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst Contour tool. The most continuous contour segments were preserved while smaller segments and isolated island polygons were excluded from the final output. The contours were then clipped to the boundary of the map area.DS 781的本部分提供了加利福尼亚州近海斯科特溪（Offshore Scott Creek）地图区域多张海底地形图的等深线数据。矢量数据文件存储于"Contours_OffshoreScottCreek.zip"压缩包中，可通过http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7CJ8BJW获取。 加利福尼亚州近海斯科特溪地图区域的10米间隔等深线，由美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）与加州州立大学蒙特雷湾分校（California State University, Monterey Bay, CSUMB）采集的水深数据生成。测绘工作于2006年至2009年间完成，采用了244 kHz Reson 8101多波束测深仪与234 kHz SEA SWATHplus水深侧扫声呐系统的组合方案。本次测绘任务采集了约从10米等深线至加利福尼亚州管海域3海里界限以外区域的水深数据。 10米间隔的等深线由经过修正的2米分辨率水深表面模型生成。首先使用ArcGIS中的焦点均值（Focal Mean）工具，以20至30米的圆形邻域（依具体区域调整）对原始表面进行平滑处理；随后通过ArcGIS空间分析（Spatial Analyst）模块的等深线工具，从该平滑后的表面生成等深线。最终输出保留了连续性最优的等深线片段，剔除了较小的孤立片段与多边形岛屿要素，最后将生成的等深线裁剪至地图区域的边界范围内。
