Description:
Abstract:
BATHY30 is a raster dataset of bathymetry and intertidal cover types for the Gulf of Maine developed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; Gulf of Maine Program. Sounding data was used in deeper areas to generate a relatively coarse resolution bathymetry grid. Finer spatial resolution around inshore features were achieved by use of tidal exposure classifications described from aerial photography (e.g., "regularly flooded, irregularly exposed, irregularly flooded") in the USFWS National Wetland Inventory datasets, channels and tidal flats mapped from photography in Maine's Coastal Marine Geologic Environments (CMGE), and Massachusetts orthophoto wetlands maps. These classes were not translated into absolute elevations, but instead were coded as to position within the intertidal zone, and the general cover type (e.g., high marsh, lower intertidal flats, etc.), which may convey useful ecological information. Where near shore subtidal bathymetry were inadequate, the grid was 'patched' using grids developed from scanned NOAA charts. For more information about the USFW Gulf of Maine Program and a CD of data from the Gulf of Maine Watershed Habitat Analysis plus supplemental information about BATHY30 see: http://gulfofmaine.fws.gov/ and http://r5gomp.fws.gov/gom/habitatstudy/metadata/gombathydoc.htm.
Purpose: This information is meant to be used for habitat protection in the Gulf of Maine watershed as identified by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Supplemental Information:
BATHY30 is available as a single raster in GRID format from the Maine GIS SDE server. An ArcGIS .lyr file to assist users in applying the correct legend information is available in the Maine GIS final data directory /home11/crypt83/layers/bathy30.lyr. The GRID, a color embedded GeoTIFF, two .jpgs views, and an ArcGIS .lyr file bathy30.lyr, are available from the Maine GIS Data Catalog at http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/catalog.asp. Two .jpeg files are available, for a quick color view of the coded classification. These data are also available from USFWS on CD, see point of contact below.

Data Quality Information
Section Index
Attribute Accuracy:
Attribute Accuracy Report: The mapped areas were compared to geo-referenced digital NOAA nautical charts as a general check for processing and data errors.
Completeness Report: The coverage may erroneously characterize depths because of limitations of the source data and processing errors from averaging point values.
Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Data set accuracy generally ranges from that of the 1:24,000 base data (inshore) to the 15 second raster data (used offshore).
Quantitative Horizontal Positional Accuracy Assessment:
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: 12
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation: Compilation base data meets National Map Accuracy Standards for 1:24,000 scale.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:
Vertical Positional Accuracy Report:
The distribution of sounding data available for deeper areas is sufficient to generate a relatively coarse resolution bathymetry grid. Finer spatial resolution around inshore features is needed, but soundings in intertidal areas are not abundant. As an alternative the bathymetric depth values is supplemented in intertidal areas with tidal exposure classifications.These classes were not translated into absolute elevations, but instead coded as to position within the intertidal zone, and the general cover type, which may convey useful ecological information.

Source Contribution:
NOAA nautical charts were used as background for checking sources. Also, some line and point features were digitized for use in New Hampshire and Maine. Rasterized versions of charts were used to 'cut and paste' some channel and inlet depth zones where these were an improvement over the interpolation from limited point or line data. Arcs digitized from NOAA metric charts were provided by Richard Kelley/MEGIS, for use in Maine.
Process Step:
Process Description:
Data from all sources was converted to depth in feet, reference mean low water, and projected as coverages to UTM. TINs (triangulated irregular network; ESRI, ArcInfo) were created from the following data sets.
Subtidal bathymetry components:
Mean low water (0 depth line): The intertidal (0) line was the outer boundary of the intertidal grid, based on aerial photo-interpreted this was supplemented with arcs digitized from NOAA charts and USGS quad sheets.
Mean high water (elevation varies along coast): Used the USGS coast line coverage as mhw; made the depth value +19' at Calais, 16' at West Quoddy Head, 15' at Moose Cove, etc, based on tide table: 'Rise for substations of Portland'; set at + 6 to + 7 for Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Soundings: NOAA points, from CDROM, < 30 meters only; used all Jackson Laboratory and Corps of Engineers,
New Hampshire soundings;
USGS and NOAA arcs.
TINs were created and used to produce grids of near shore bathymetry from the above sources, at 15 m and at 30 m resolution. The USGS 15 - second grid was used to fill in deeper areas; the resultant grid was overlain with the NOAA embayment data where this more closely corresponded with NOAA charts. Finally, the intertidal grids were superimposed. Subtidal bathymetry, of certain embayments and channels, mostly on the Maine coast, still was a poor match with the published NOAA charts. This was because the TINS were based on limited digital data for these areas, while the charts were based on far more complete soundings. Using scanned versions of the charts, the author converted the images to grids, then used the color rendition as the link to the depth range designated on the chart, and clipped out replacement 'patches' for each of the embayments to be corrected. The NOAA chart soundings were inspected, and a intermediate depth value was assigned each patch. Patches and base grid were combined by retaining the deeper value from either source.
Two final grids were produced: one retained all integer depth values, and a "descriptive" attribute to group intertidal features and depths into a few classes (see below). The other grid has only the classes, and therefore has a smaller file size.

Entity and Attribute Overview:
Two final grids were produced by USFWGOM: one retained all integer depth values, and a "descriptive" attribute to group intertidal features and depths into a few classes (see below). The other grid represented in BATHY30 contains only the descriptive classifications, and therefore has a smaller file size. The item COUNT may be used with pixel VALUE, and total pixels, to estimate % classification type.
Entity and Attribute Detail Citation:
The ArcView shapefile and ArcGIS geodatabase formats, commonly used for Maine GIS data, carry default identifiers and attributes that are software generated and/or important for internal recordkeeping. These are listed here to avoid repetition for every layer, and may not be repeated in the attribute descriptions and definitions of each layer. Common software generated identifiers and attributes in Maine GIS data include: FID (feature identifier), Shape (feature geometry), OBJECTID and SHAPE_lengt. In addition, most GIS formats will carry fields for PERIMETER, AREA and/or LENGTH according to feature geometry. These fields are typically available by default, with the units based on coordinate system or projection units of GIS data. Most GIS software packages also provide a means to calculate these values. It is important to test any columns containing PERIMETER, AREA or LENGTH values before using them for analysis purposes. These important values can be carried from format to format and become out-dated. Verify that the values are correct. Also, in your GIS software, please view the properties of data layers for the map units used to calculate these fields, and for the units set for display purposes.
