Description:

Abstract:

Bathymetry points for Wickford Harbor, Rhode Island collected with single beam echosounder in the summer of 2005. Depths are corrected to feet below NAVD88 using tide correction from RTK surveyed pressure sensor tide gauges.

Purpose:

To create contour lines from which to determine landscape unit boundaries based on bathymetry for mapping subaqueous soils.
