Process_Description:
RIDOT, NOAA Lidar, RTK elevations, and bathymetry collected by Emily Shumchenia and Kathyrn Ford were all merged into one ArcGIS file. Details on Bathymetry Data: Kathyrn Ford (KF) collected 54,514 soundings. Depth was measured by a Garmin 240 Blue (in feet) registered to NAVD88. Tide correction was done using Hypack 2.12A Gold software. Tide corrections were based on Hypack analysis of three tide gauges placed in Ninigret by NRCS for the survey. Transducer correction is based on the depth of transducer below the hull plus an assumed squat of the boat of one inch. XY locations were obtained with a Trimble DSM212L DGPS receiver with sub-meter accuracy. Data were provided in RI State Plane feet NAD83 to P. August (PA) in an Excel spreadsheet. PA eliminated 8 soundings with aberrant depths and 395 sounding with aberrant XY locations. Excel coordinates were converted to an Arc shapefile with ArcView 3.3 and converted to a coverage with Arc 8.3. The attribute DEPTH2 is the depth in feet of KF's soundings after correcting for tidal influence. Futher field checks also eliminated a handfull of incorrect points. Shallow water depths were also measured with a RTK GPS. All data are included in the raw data file below.
