Outline of the Multibeam-Bathymetric Data Collected During National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Survey H11999 (H11999OUTLINE.SHP, Geographic, WGS84)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Long Island Sound, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the multibeam echo-sounder data collected north of Duck Pond Point, New York. During April and May 2010, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired during 2 cruises as part of USGS ground-truth reconnaissance surveys of this area. For more information on the ground-truth surveys see <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10010/> and <http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10015/>.

美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）与康涅狄格州环境保护部、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）合作，正在编制长岛湾沿岸海床的详细地质图。最初由NOAA为海图编制工作采集的影像数据，为该段长岛湾沿岸的科研与管理活动提供了核心基础框架，可展示海床的物质组成与地形特征，并提供沉积物运移及底栖生境相关信息。解释性数据图层源自纽约州达克塘点以北采集的多波束测深声呐（multibeam echo-sounder）数据。2010年4月至5月期间，研究团队通过两次巡航作业采集了海底照片与表层沉积物数据，作为美国地质调查局对该区域开展实地验证踏勘调查的组成部分。如需了解更多关于此次实地验证调查的详细信息，请访问以下链接：<http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10010/>与<http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2010/10015/>。
