Abstract

     One objective of the U.S. Southern Ocean Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (SO GLOBEC) program is to gain a better understanding of the sea floor bathymetry in the program study area.  Much of Marguerite Bay and the adjacent shelf west of the Antarctic Peninsula were poorly charted when the SO GLOBEC program started in 2000.  Before the first SO GLOBEC cruise, an improved local area version (ETOPO8.2A) was created from the Smith and Sandwell (1997) topo_8.2.img 2-minute digital gridded bathymetry for the study area.  The first SO GLOBEC mooring cruise on the R/V Lawrence M. Gould (March 2001) showed that the 2-minute spatial resolution of ETOPO8.2A did not resolve many of the canyons and abrupt changes in topography that characterize Marguerite Bay and the inner- to mid-shelf region.  It also was not particularly accurate in the more uniform terrain regions.  We then decided to collect as much multibeam bathymetry data as possible during the SO GLOBEC broad-scale survey cruises on the R/VIB Nathaniel B. Palmer and combine these data with all other available multibeam and trackline bathymetry data to construct a digital bathymetry database and map for the study area.  The resulting database has high-resolution data over much of the shelf and parts of Marguerite Bay gridded at 2 seconds in latitude and 6 seconds in longitude spacing between 65û to 71û S and 65û to 78û W.  This technical report describes the steps taken to assemble and construct this database and how to access the data via the Internet.

1 Introduction

     During the initial planning for the U.S. Southern Ocean (SO) GLOBEC field program, it became very clear that the program would need a better knowledge of the sea floor bathymetry in the program study area if the program was to achieve itsÕ scientific objectives.  Much of Marguerite Bay and the adjacent western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) shelf were poorly charted, and the coverage of high-quality digital sounding data with GPS-quality navigation data was sparse.  Examination of existing maps and along-track data in the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) showed the WAP shelf to be rugged.  The area has a mean depth of roughly 500 m but with many canyons and depressions to depths of 800 m interspersed with shallow banks.  Marguerite Bay has a more complex bathymetry with George VI Sound having a maximum depth of 1600 m, along with extensive shallows and island groups.  Such topographic variability should strongly influence local currents, water properties, and regional circulation, plus biological processes, including animal distributions and behavior (e.g., seal dive depth).  Thus, a good knowledge of the bottom topography is essential for both physical and biological sampling and experimental design, data interpretation and physical/biological modeling.

     It was evident by the December 2000 SO GLOBEC planning meeting that the program needed to obtain as much new high-quality bathymetry data as possible during the field program if significant improvements to the bathymetry data in the study area were to be achieved.  Thus, it was decided to collect high-quality swath bathymetry data during all R/VIB Nathaniel B Palmer (NBP) cruises in the SO GLOBEC study area during 2001-2002.  We would merge these data with along-track data collected on the R/V Laurence M. Gould (LMG) and all other multibeam and centerline data that we could obtain.  These data would be gridded into a bathymetry database that could be used in planning and scientific analysis by program investigators.  Peter Wiebe, Chief Scientist of the NBP 2001 and 2002 austral ÒfallÓ and ÒwinterÓ SO GLOBEC survey cruises, requested that the swath data be collected, and Bob Beardsley agreed to organize and oversee the post-cruise processing and construction of a composite digital bathymetry database for the program. 

     As a first step towards constructing a better bathymetry we used a digitizing table to determine the latitude and longitude of depth values on existing navigational charts and merged these data with the Smith and Sandwell (1997) topo_8.2.img 2-min digital gridded bathymetry to create the ETOPO8.2A data set.  Comparisons with along-track data collected during the March 2001 LMG mooring cruise showed that the 2-min resolution of the ETOPO8.2A data set did not resolve many of the canyons and abrupt changes in topography which characterize Marguerite Bay and the inner- to mid-shelf region, nor was it particularly accurate.  At several mooring sites, the pre-deployment site depth survey made with the LMG fathometer bore little resemblance with ETOPO8.2A.  This strengthened our desire to collect as much new high-resolution digital bathymetry data as possible in the SO GLOBEC study area during the program field work.

     The work of building a composite digital bathymetry database started in earnest in the second half of 2001.  High-quality swath bathymetry data were collected on the austral ÒfallÓ and ÒwinterÓ SO GLOBEC broad-scale surveys using the NBP SeaBeam system, and along-track digital bathymetry data from the LMG ÒfallÓ and ÒwinterÓ SO GLOBEC process-oriented cruises.  In addition, an extensive multibeam survey was conducted along the deep trough exiting from Marguerite Bay onto the shelf aboard the RRS James Clark Ross in 2001 and made available to us by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).  Center trackline and multibeam data already available at the U.S. Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) also were obtained and incorporated into the map. A first attempt to merge these new data sets with ETOPO8.2A exhibited so much variation with the actual data collected in the study region that we decided to exclude ETOPO8.2A data in future compilations.

     Additional multibeam and center trackline data were collected during the 2002 SO GLOBEC ÒfallÓ and ÒwinterÓ NBP broad-scale survey cruises and LMG process-oriented cruises and mooring cruise.  Other bathymetric data were from British and Russian sources also were added to the data set.  We stopped actively looking for additional data, following the last SO GLOBEC LMG mooring cruise in March 2003, and focused on assembling a final quality-controlled digital bathymetry data set for the SO GLOBEC study region.  This new compilation could then be used by interested investigators to produce high-resolution gridded bathymetry maps.  This report describes the steps taken to assemble and edit the individual data sets collected in this effort, and the final data set and how to access this data via the Internet.  Figure 12 shows the coverage in the area we have assembled from cruise data.  



2 Data Sources and Types

2.1 ETOPO8.2A

    As a first step towards building an improved bathymetry database before any SO GLOBEC cruises in the area, Bob Beardsley and Mike Caruso obtained the Sandwell and Smith topo_8.2.img 2-min digital gridded bathymetry for the SO GLOBEC study area (Figure 1, see http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/predicted/explore.HTML for more information about ETOPO2).  This bathymetry data set is a merger of satellite-derived data and digital along-track and swath data that had been obtained from the NGDC (see http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/geodas/trackline.html ) as of July 15, 2000.

     The positions of individual soundings on four published navigational charts (Table 1) in the study area were determined using an XY digitizing table. The resulting digital XYZ data were combined with the above topo_8.2.img data using the GMT program surface. The resulting digital bathymetry data ETOPO8.2A (Figure 2) showed more spatial structure around Adelaide Island and within Marguerite Bay as a result of the addition of the navigational chart data which are not part of the NGDC.

    However, as mentioned above, the difference between ETOPO8.2A and depth data collected on the first LMG mooring cruise in March 2001 was so large (Figure 3) that this initial merged product was eventually discarded later that year.  We decided not to include the digitized navigational chart data nor the satellite-derived data in ETOPO8.2A in our final data set presented here.  The navigational chart data were collected in times when navigation and depth sounding were very crude relative to todayÕs methods.

Figure 1.  Smith & Sandwell topo_8.2.img data.     This is a 2-min gridded bathymetry for the SO GLOBEC study area.   Note how the shelf break is interpreted in this data set.  The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) coastline is in green.  The ADD edge of the ice is shown in blue.

Figure 2.  ETOPO8.2A.     The increased bumpiness reflects the addition of the navigational chart data before re-gridding.  The ADD coastline is in black and ADD edge of the ice is in blue.

Figure 3.  Comparison of depth data from recent cruise tracks and old navigation charts.     The digitized chart data are plotted as pluses (+) overlying track data.  Note the large number of red pluses over areas of yellow and green showing the large differences from the two depth data sets.  The black area is deeper than the coloring scheme used.  This was left to illustrate the differences in the data sets.


2.2  GEBCO

    In 2003, the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) published under the auspices of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and the United NationsÕ (UNESCO) Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) a 1-min bathymetric data set for the world ocean (see http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/gebco/gebco.html).  This data set was compiled from a large collection of spot soundings, swath data and satellite-derived data.  The compiled data were then plotted and contoured by hand with the resulting contours digitized and gridded to form the final 1-min data set. 

    The GEBCO interpretation (Figure 4) does not fit well with the multibeam data we have collected in the SO GLOBEC study area.  An over-plot of GEBCO contours on a shaded relief map from our data (Figure 5) shows general agreement in some areas and radical differences in others. This is emphasized by the plot of GEBCO contours on our contours (Figure 6), especially over the outer shelf and shelfbreak region.  There are also notable differences in coastline and ice shelf edge positions.  For this reason, we decided not to use the GEBCO 1-min data.  (A discussion group email from Walter Smith about the strengths and weaknesses of the GEBCO 1-min data set can be found at: http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/GMT-Help/Archive/msg09701.html.  This note helps explain our omission of the GEBCO bathymetry.)

2.3 SO GLOBEC

     SeaBeam swath bathymetry data were collected on the R/VIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) 2001 ÒfallÓ and ÒwinterÓ and 2002 ÒfallÓ broad-scale survey cruises.  For the NBP 2002 ÒwinterÓ cruise there was no operating multibeam system aboard.  Thus, only digital centerline echo sounder data were collected and recorded in JGOFS format with the other underway along-track data.   The NBP multibeam data were edited at sea during each cruise and are now in good condition.  The NBP JGOFS formatted bathymetry data needed extensive post-cruise editing since only limited editing was done at sea.  The multibeam data had the sound velocity profiles used in the data processing adjusted at sea.  The multibeam soundings data were consistent between each cruise and with the sound velocity profiles agree with data collected from CTD casts taken during the cruise.

     On all seven SO GLOBEC R/V Laurence M. Gould (LMG) cruises, digital centerline echo sounder data were recorded in JGOFS format along with other underway along-track data.  This JGOFS bathymetry data also needed extensive cleaning as no editing was done at sea.  The tracks and swaths where the NBP and LMG collected bathymetry data during the SO GLOBEC field program are shown in Figure 7.  The documentation of the sound velocity profile used in collecting the JGOFS data is very poor to non-existant.  The good agreement in crossings with the NBP multibeam data showed that this data was useable in our compilation.

2.4 Other United States Antarctic Program Bathymetry Data

     Multibeam and centerline bathymetry data collected on other U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) NBP and LMG cruises in the study area have been obtained for inclusion in our compilation (Figure 8).  John Anderson (Rice University) has contributed SeaBeam data from his 1999 NBP geophysics cruise (NBP 99-02) and selected segments of SeaBeam data from his 2002 NBP geophysics cruise (NBP 02-01) in Marguerite Bay.  Both of these cruises cover areas that needed coverage and the swath data have been included in the compilation.  Centerline data collected on many of the USAP LMG cruises (Figure 9) in the study area from 2000 to early 2003 also have been obtained and included into the compilation (Table 2).  As with the other centerline data collected in JGOFS format, the LMG data have required extensive editing to produce accurate depth data (see Appendix 2).

2.5 National Geophysical Data Center

   A search of the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) for bathymetric data in our region of interest identified the cruises listed in Table 2 (Figure 10).  The majority of these cruises (43 of 46) only had data from 3.5 or 12 kHz centerline recording systems.  The bathymetry data have been checked to remove any spurious depths. Since these data were generally not rigorously edited before submission to NGDC and may have been taken with a variety of sound velocities in the water used to calculate depth, a thorough editing and comparison with other data at track crossovers is essential. NGDC has a system of reporting these velocities, but often this seems to be not reported or forgotten when those who collected the data returned from sea.

     In addition to the centerline data, we were fortunate to find three multibeam data sets at NGDC.  These were of a mixed quality.  The data from one Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory R/V Maurice Ewing cruise has the overall crude bathymetry in the right range but the actual data points need further editing.  These data are in areas that fills gaps in our coverage but this cruise data must be used with care.  Two multi-beam cruises attributed to NOAA seem to have data that fits in well and looks fairly cleanly edited.

2.6 British Antarctic Survey

     We were fortunate to make contact with Carol Pudsey and Peter Morris at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) near the beginning of the SO GLOBEC field program.  They have provided us with extensive multibeam data from their 2001 and 2002 RRS James Clark Ross (JCR) geophysics cruises in Marguerite Bay (Figure 11).  These cruises mapped large parts of Marguerite Trough, the channel that leads from to the shelf break from the mouth of Marguerite Bay and George VI Sound.  Since the Marguerite Trough is such a dominant topographic feature in the region, the high-quality multibeam data from these BAS surveys have been crucial additions to our data set. 

     During the summer of 2003, Carol and Peter provided us with raw multibeam data from several other JCR cruises in the SO GLOBEC study area. These data had not been edited beforehand and after editing by Tom Bolmer have been added to our data set.  These surveys have added many new and useful miles of new data to this study.  In the winter of 2004 Rob Lartner sent us trackline date from the JCR that go along the shelf and the rise.

     Peter also provided edited multibeam data collected on a 1991 geophysics cruise abroad the Russian ship R/V Academik Boris Petrov.  This cruise included several tracks along the shelf that parallel themselves and cross the SO GLOBEC tracks at right angles, thus providing very useful tie lines.  Some of the Russian data were discarded in the deeper water areas off the shelf, where they did not agree with our other data there.  The data on the shelf areas is not without its' problems.  But, since these data cover areas that need coverage it has been left in.  We have done some further editing of these data in shallower areas.  The editing has been cumbersome since the data are only in an ASCII XYZ format and thus it is hard to remove points from easily.

     Rob Larter at the BAS provided MGD77 formatted data for 2 tracks from the JCR cruise JR04 in 1993 that follow the shelf break on the shelf and out on the continental rise (Figure 11).

2.7 Spanish Data

     AndrŽs Maldonado (Instituto Andaluz de Ciencias de la Tierra, Universidad de Granada, Spain) contributed the gridded multibeam bathymetry data set from the ANTPAC97-98 geophysics cruise on the R/V Bio-Hesperides.  This data set improved the density of coverage at the shelf break in one area (Figure 11).

2.8 Lamont-Doherty Antarctic Multibeam Bathymetric Synthesis Database

     The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory Antarctic Multibeam  Bathymetric Synthesis Database web site ( http://data.ldeo.columbia.edu/antarctic/ ) provided us with several USAP data sets that were not available elsewhere.  These cruises have helped fill in some areas in the north east regions that had few cruises.  As of this date this site has two large multibeam data sets that have not been released.  We are using the underway JGOFS bathymetry for both of these, but we do have a partial set of the multibeam data released to us for one of the cruises.  These two cruises should be available in early 2004 after the 2 years proprietary time for these data is up.  At the time of this report one of the chief scientists for these cruises has put an additional 6 month hold on releasing the data from his cruise.

2.9 Other Contributions

     Laurie Padman (Earth and Space Research, Seattle) contributed the bathymetry data used in his tidal models for the study region.  In particular, his data set has a 1/4 degree longitude by 1/12 degree latitude grid with coverage under the Wilkins Ice Sheet and George VI Sound.  While this is very coarse spacing, it does help constrain the land and other bathymetry in our study area.  Laurie based his data base on an Oregon State University global tidal solution based on the ETOPO-5 data.  The web-site describing this data is at: http://www.ers.org/antarctic/barotropic.html#CAT  .

     From Maslanyj (1987) we used 3 profiles across George IV Sound.  These data were collected using seismic techniques.  There are only three profiles that we can use in the area but they show us that George IV Fjord is a channel around Alexander Island.  These profiles can be seen in Figure 12.

3 Analysis Methods

     We have relied on publicly available programs to create the final bathymetry data set presented here.  In particular, we have used the MB-System software written by David Caress (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) and Dale Chayes (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory).  This software package was developed with NSF support and is described at http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/MB-System/MB-System.intro.html .  This software allows editing and converting the multibeam data into latitude-longitude gridded data that we can then manipulate and merge with other data. 

     We also have used the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) written by Paul Wessel (School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii) and Walter Smith (NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry) (see http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu ).  These programs were used to merge and do the rest of the gridding and plotting of the data.   See Appendix I for examples of the scripts we had not previously noticed.

     In the process of sorting, editing, and managing the various data sets, we have also developed PERL and MatLab programs as needed.  We also have used the sh and csh shells, the generic shell scripting inherent in UNIX, to manage the data and run the processing steps we used.  All final processing was done on a Sun Ultra 60 UNIX workstation running Solaris 8.0 with nearly 150 GB hard disk drive storage.  Brief descriptions of the processing done on various data sets are presented next.

     We were fortunate to recently have the Interactive Visualization Software company's Fledermaus program available to us.  This program was able to read in the gridded NETCDF data from GMT and plot the data in Three Dimensions (3D).  By being able to rotate and fly through the 3D figure we were able to find large highs and lows that were previously missed.  We then went back to the raw data and removed the extraneous points and ran through the whole process to make a gridded data set again.  By using this 3D and editing process several times were able to remove the abnormalities.  There are some examples of the Fledermaus figures on the data web site referred to below.

3.1 Multibeam Data

     Multibeam systems considered here provide up to 150 and more depth points on a swath (transect) perpendicular to the shipÕs track.  The width of the swath is typically 1.5 times the water depth, so this swath measurement approach is much more effective in mapping areas than the along-track single-point echo sounder. The raw multibeam data requires careful visual editing of individual ping data, a major labor-intensive effort. We have used the MB-System mbedit program for editing raw multibeam as needed, and the MB-System mbgrid program to convert the edited multibeam swath data into equally-spaced latitude, longitude, depth (xyz) values.

3.1.1 RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer SeaBeam

     The multibeam data collected on the R/VIB Nathaniel B. Palmer were edited by the scientific party on board the ship at the time of collection.  The efforts of the scientific party were coordinated and quality controlled by the Raytheon Polar Services shipboard technicians. In addition to overseeing the basic swath editing, the technicians also checked the navigation data input and made corrections as needed.  This thankless job was done on all cruises and has made this digital data base construction possible.

3.1.2 NGDC Multibeam

     NGDC had three multibeam data sets collected in the study area.  At this time, we have used these data without editing, although we recommend further editing of these data sets.

3.1.3 British Antarctic Survey Multibeam

3.1.3.1 ASCII XYZ multibeam data

     The British Antarctic Survey has supplied both edited processed and raw multibeam data.  The processed data were in ASCII xyz format.  These data sets have been used without change.  They do exhibit some spatial distortion due to the space scale used in the gridding.  If possible, we will attempt to obtain the original edited multibeam files to include in the final database. 

3.1.3.2 RAW Multibeam data

     The BAS raw multibeam data had been collected with a Simrad 120 multibeam system that used a data storage format that could not be edited directly by MB-System.  The raw data were first converted into a format compatible with MB-System, then edited with mbedit.  A few sections needed sound speed adjustment. These data are now edited and included in the current version of the SO GLOBEC data base.

3.2 Conventional echo sounding data

3.2.1 NGDC single point track line

     A large part of the digital bathymetry data in the study area was collected using more traditional echo sounders.  This type of data provided the largest number of miles of data along track.  This type of echo sounding only provides a single depth point under the ship, unlike the swath data from the multibeam mapping systems.

     These data need quality control checking.  The data were provided to NGDC from many sources, and while many sources provide processed data, some only provide raw (unprocessed and unchecked) data.  There are no real quality control tags on the data provided to NGDC, so care must be made to check the crossings of the along-track data between individual cruises.  Sometimes the data will show differences of 10Õs (to even 100Õs) m between the depths from two cruises at a crossing point.  This difference must be resolved before utilizing the data from either cruise.

     Although these along-track data cover a small area of the map relative to that area covered by the multibeam data, the along-track data are critical in providing coverage of the region and Òtie linesÓ to the multibeam data.  These tie lines can be used to constrain valleys and ridges and help confirm regional trends.

     The NGDC along-track data were processed using the MB-System program mbgrid to create a gridded data set to use with data from other sources.

3.2.2 R/V Laurence M. Gould along-track data

    We have been fortunate to get access to the along-track single-point bathymetry data collected during 2000-2003 on the R/V Laurence M. Gould (Figure 9).  The shipÕs data acquisition system records 1-min data from a suite of underway meteorological and water sampling systems that include the shipÕs digital echo sounder and GPS latitude and longitude.  The data are stored in the Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) ASCII format.  The echo sounder uses its own bottom detection software and the data must be carefully edited to remove the many spurious depth values that occur, especially when the ship is working in the ice.  Tom Bolmer wrote a MatLab program (see Appendix II) to identify and remove spurious data plus obvious peaks and valleys in the data that are unreasonable relative to what is known about the area or relative to other data (Figures 16 and 17).

     The resulting edited JGOFS depth and position data were then processed with the MB-System program mbgrid to create a gridded data set that can be merged with data from other sources.

3.3 Coastline Data

    Peter Morris provided the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) 1:1 million Antarctic coastline data set (http://www.nerc-bas.ac.uk/public/magic/add_home.html).  This is the current version of the coastline for the region.  The GMT coastline subroutine in the GMT suite of programs uses data from old navigation charts of the area so that the GMT coastline is only useful for gross features.   During cruises in the area, ships have ÒsailedÓ past the GMT/navigational chart coastlines onto ÒlandÓ.  We have used the SCAR coastline data to constrain the areas with very little data and define the coastline in our gridded data (figure 12).

3.4 DEM Topography

     We have downloaded the United States Geological Survey global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) (GTOPO30) (http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/gtopo30/gtopo30.html) to use for the land area (Figure 13).  This data set has a horizontal grid spacing of 30 arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer), and covers most of the region except for some of the smaller islands in the northeast and southwest which are likely too small to be resolved with the 30-sec grid spacing.  The DEM data have helped constrain the bathymetry by having the topography to influence the gridding of the bathymetry.

Figure 12.  All the track coverage with DEM GTOPO30 and SCAR ADD data.     The DEM data is shown on land.  The SCAR coastline and ice edges are shown.  There is good agreement between the two data sets within the 30-sec spacing of the GTOPO30 data.


4 Steps in Getting to a Final Grid

    All of the data sources and types mentioned above were used to create a final data set and bathymetric chart.  We first created a series of grids from some of the different data types and then merged them together with some sources getting preference.   The steps we followed to create the final products are listed below.  The scripts used to create these files are included in Appendix 1.  Table 4 has a list of the programs used in the processing.  The final version of the data set can be seen in Figures 13, 14 and 15.

  1. The NBP multibeam data were turned into a grid using mbgrid.  We have good faith in this data set and gave it preference over the other data sources.  Some padding was performed around the data points to fill in areas with no data and create a fuller grid.  These data were gridded using a 75 meter grid spacing.  We created a NetCDF-formatted gridded data set (ÒgrdÓ file) that can then be used by the GMT programs to merge and plot the data. 
  2. The remaining multibeam data from other sources were gridded using mbgrid.  A smaller amount of padding was used in this data set.  This created a second grd file.
  3. These two grids were then merged using the GMT program grdmath.  The program was asked to do a logical AND on the data.  If there was data at a grid location in the NBP grd file, it was used.  If not, then a value from the other multibeam grd file was used.  If there was no data there, then a ÒNaNÓ (Not a Number) was assigned to that grid location.  This created a file of high confidence and high quality data.
  4. The NDGC and LMG JGOFS trackline data were turned into a grid using the same mbgrid program.  A smaller padding number was used to fill in empty areas in this grid.
  5. The merged multibeam grd file was merged with the NDGC and JGOFS trackline grd file using the same technique with GMTÕs grdmath program as discussed above.  The multibeam data was given precedence over the trackline data as above.  This grd file represents all data collected by ships in the area in our data base.
  6. The GTOPO30 data were reformatted into an ASCII XYZ file to represent only the land areas.
  7. The combined ship data grd file was also reformatted into an ASCII XYZ file using the GMT grd2xyz program. 
  8. The SCAR ADD coastline data were converted into an ASCII XYZ data file by adding a value of 0.0 for the water depth to represent the coast line.  

9.  All of the ASCII XYZ data files were concatenated together into a single file.  These files are: a) the ASCII XYZ ship bathymetry data, b) the ASCII XYZ GTOPO30 land elevation data, c) the ASCII XYZ SCAR ADD coastline data, d) the ASCII XYZ file of bathymetric soundings in the King George VI Sound, and e) the ASCII XYZ data sent by Laurie Padman for use in areas of ice sheets.

10.  This single XYZ file was then searched using the UNIX program egrep to remove those locations where there was no data.  The NaN values were removed in this step, leaving only XYZ points with real data.

11.  The GMT program blockmedian was then run to get a median position and value for every non-empty block in a grid ÒcellÓ.  Grid locations with data in them were created, thus generating a grid with either data or no data in equally spaced locations from the irregularly spaced input data.

  12.  The resultant file from the program blockmedian was then processed with the GMT program surface.  Surface smoothly fills in empty grid locations with an interpolation sheet passing through the existing grid cells with data.  The resulting grid can then be used to create maps of the study area.  We used a grid spacing of 6 seconds longitude and 2 seconds of latitude.  The program surface could not use meters as a grid spacing.  These grid spacing values in surface best fit those output from the mbgrid program.

  13.  The grid above was input into the IVS Fledermaus program to find largely divergent highs and lows in the data set.  The raw data were plotted in these regions to help find and remove the bad data points from the data set.

  14.  The data center line data were then regridded, and merged with the multibeam data again.  Then steps 10 to 12 from above were repeated.  The process of doing steps 13 and then redoing 10 to 12 was done several times until no more large diversions were noted in the data set with Fledermaus.

5 Data Distribution

     To facilitate the initial distribution of this data set to the SO GLOBEC participants, the web site http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/so_globec/ was created to allow participants to download the data set.  This web site has a link to an ftp site.  The ftp site has a user name and password associated with it.  For the time period that the data are proprietary.  Since the SO GLOBEC participants use such a large range of computer operating systems and software, it was hard to find a single kind of data format that would be useful to all.  As a result, we decided to serve on the ftp site the data set in the following formats:

1.         GMT-created NetCDF binary files with 3 grid resolutions to allow users with smaller computers to get the data and be able to work with the files.  These were a 6seconds longitude and 2 seconds latitude grid, a 15 seconds on each side grid and a 1 minute on each side grid.

2.         ASCII XYZ files with 2 grid resolutions for the same reason.  Only the 15 seconds and 1 minute grids were used here due to file size limitations.

3.         Separate ASCII XY files for each 100-m depth contour.

4.         MatLab MAT files of the gridded data with two different grid resolutions.  We used the same size grids as in number 2 above.

5.      A TIFF file for GIS users.  (We have had trouble distributing data to users of GIS software packages.  These programs seem unable to read the NetCDF-formatted files nor re-grid the ASCII XYZ data easily.  This TIFF file is an attempt to get the GIS users data they can use.) 

6.      GIS users have a separate directory of files provided by Ari Friedlaender (Duke University).  (The format of these files is not understood by us.)  Other GIS users have had trouble using these files also.  These files are still being served in the hope that they are helpful to someone.)  At the time of publication these GIS files are not of the current gridded data set.  We hope to have that updated soon with help from other SO GLOBEC participants.

7.      There are two scene files for use in the IVS iView3D program.  These files used with the free program iView3D program will enable the user to "fly" though the data in a 3D grid.

     With the publication of this technical report, the web site http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/so_globec/ will be updated and the digital bathymetry ftp site ftp.whoi.edu , which has the username of so_globec, will be opened for all users.  Another link to these sites will be added to the U.S. Southern Ocean GLOBEC website at Old Dominion University ( http://www.odu.edu/Research/globec_menu.html ) to help dissemination of the existence and availability of this data set.  The GLOBEC web site at W.H.O.I. for the distribution of all U.S. GLOBEC data (Georges Bank, NEP, and SO GLOBEC) also has a link to this data at: http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/ .  The complete SO GLOBEC digital bathymetry data set will be archived at WHOI by Tom Bolmer (tbolmer@whoi.edu) and investigators seeking data products not present on the ftp site should contact Tom directly. 

6 Summary

     By combining bathymetric data from many sources and using various interpolation methods, a data set of bathymetry gridded nominally at 75-m spacing and bounded by 65o to 71o S and 65o to 78o W has been created.  This represents a significant improvement over what was previously available in this area.  The final product in the form of several gridded depth and depth contour data sets using different horizontal resolutions will now be available to all users (both the SO GLOBEC investigators and the rest of the public) at the ftp site: ftp.whoi.edu ( ftp://so_globec@ftp.whoi.edu ) , at the web site: http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/so_globec/ , and at the US GLOBEC web site at: http://globec.whoi.edu/jg/dir/globec/soglobec/ .


7 Suggestions for improving the compilation

This compilation is only a snap shot of the data available at the time of publication of this report.  There are many things that could be done to improve upon this bathymetry data set.  We listsome ideas below.

1)  We are confident that we have found most of the science cruises in region that collected well-located digital bathymetric data.  But we feel that we have not gotten all of those available.

2)  Some of the data that we have could be improved upon by having access to the processed multibeam files instead of more coarsely gridded ASCII XYZ data.

3)  There are several cruises included in this compilation for which only a limited subset of the bathymetry data was made available to us.  Including the missing data from these cruises would improve the accuracy in some areas.

4)  In the process of editing the single channel track data, we may have erred and edited out good data points.  It is very difficult to edit and process this type of data without access to the actual echo sounding records for comparison.  Several examples of undiscovered shoals were found in the echo sounding data on the SO GLOBEC RVIB N. B. Palmer cruises that were not shown in the edited single channel track data.  These omissions should be investigated further.

5)  Some of the data could benefit from further processing.  We perhaps would be able to improve upon the map we have if we could process the entire data set with the new bathymetry processing tool now in development and testing at the University of New Hampshire.

6)  The final gridded product could be improved by having a surfacing routine that smoothes the areas with no data in a better more realistic manner.  The currently used GMT program is not producing smoothly flowing surfaces.

7)  There should be some way to incorporate larger data sets like the Smith & Sandwell 2-minute gravity-derived topography, the GEBCO 2003 1 minute grid or the SCAR BEDMAP data set into this SO GLOBEC compilation.

At this moment, there is a large difference between our product and these.  Since we have a larger data set in a smaller area than these compilations, our data should be able to guide these data sets in our region of interest.  If we could use our data set (which is more complete and accurate in our study region) as a ground truth data set for one of these products, perhaps we could utilize the resulting other product to make a more complete bathymetry map for our region.

8)  There are regions in the map area where additional data could make a large improvement. These areas can be seen easily by looking at Figure 12.  There are large areas where there is very sparse data coverage. Several of the areas we think that need more survey work done are:

a)  The region off of Lazareth Bay.  It would be good to see if the deep area near the bay continues offshore.  Does this deep continue further onshore?

b)  Both the Wilkins and George VI Ice Shelves need more data. Only Maslanyj's profiles in George VI Sound contain any real data in these areas.

     These areas probably contribute to the general circulation in the region with water passing under the ice shelves.  Knowing how much water could possible move in these regions would help modelers in the general region.

c)  The general southwestern part of the map needs more data collected.  There are hints of features but the existing data are so sparse that we need more data to constrain these features.  Does the deep in the southwestern area continue over the continental shelf to the deep sea?

d)  There has been scientific interest in a more-detailed description of the bathymetry in the Crystal Sound area.  There are questions as to whether the deeper areas are connected to the shelf.  Deeper water mass characteristics have been noted in the area and it would be good to know if there is a channel for this water to get there.

e)  The southeastern part of Marguerite Bay to the east of Marguerite Trough shows no cruise tracks in the area. The general interior of Marguerite Bay is only sparsely surveyed. Having a better idea of the bathymetry here would help a lot in understanding the overall Marguerite Bay system.


8 A Brief Time Line of the Compilation

Get Smith & Sandwell 2 minute global elevation data

check and get NGDC track lines data

digitize Navigational charts

Merge all of this into a new ETOPO82A gridded data set

First R/V Laurence M. Gould SO GLOBEC Cruise LMG0102  Data are noted to be VERY different from the ETOPO82A data

Begin first of three RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer SO GLOBEC cruises collecting SeaBeam data.  Data are processed at sea.

After the first two cruises we tried to merge all of the data assembled to date.

   These data are noted to not merge very well with the ETOPO8.2, the ETOPO82A or the digitized Navigation charts.

   A decision is made to not use any of the previously assembled data.  We will only collect our own data and search for other available data sets.

Carol Pudsey at British Antarctic Survey offers the data from a multibeam cruise on the James Clark Ross.

Do a search of NGDC and get all bathymetry data available.  This includes a few cruises that collected multibeam. Get the GTOPO30 30 second spaced topography data.  This fills in the land areas and helps constrain the data set.

Peter Morris sends the SCAR ADD coastline data.  We tried to get this from the ADD web site but it is only distributed in GIS files.  Could not read the GIS data formats so the ASCII files from Peter are a great help.  This constrains the bathymetry data set to the water area only when we are using surface to fill in unsurveyed areas.

Created a tool to edit out bad data points from the R/VLaurence M. Gould and RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer underweigh ÒJGOFSÓ meteorology data.  These data included bathymetry from the either the 3.5 or 12 kHz echo sounders.  These data were NOT edited for quality control at sea. This MatLab tool helped by being able to remove extraneous points, using the GUI tools in MatLab.  Wildly different peaks and valleys were removed this way.

Peter Morris at the BAS puts me in touch with Andras Maldonado in Spain who offers multibeam from the Hesperides.

Presented a poster at the Ocean Sciences AGU Hawaii February 2002 to show the process of the work.

After SO GLOBEC cruise III on the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer  some data wre also released by previous chief scientists on the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer .  SO GLOBEC cruise III is the last SO GLOBEC to collect multibeam data.  The SeaBeam system on the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer was replaced by a Simrad system, which was not operational at cruise time for SO GLOBEC IV.

Created  a web site to show the AGU poster on line.  This was added to as new things were done to the data.  Before the 2002 December SO GLOBEC meeting the first set of preliminary data was put up on the web for SO GLOBEC participants to down load and use.

BAS sent raw multibeam data from cruises in the area.  These were data that had not been processed due to lack of interest at BAS.  Tom mbeditted the data in the summer of 2003 and added it to the collected data.

Searched through the data and added points to areas where no data existed. Data from Laurie Padman were used to fill in areas like under the Wilken's Ice Shelf where we had no data.  We needed to edit Laurie's data so that is did not occur on land or in areas we had real ship track data.  We also added points to areas that Laurie's data did not cover but where we had coastline and land elevation data.  This helped constrain some areas to give surfaces that fit the general data available.  This was basically an adjustment to the data to force the computer surfacing and gridding programs towards more realistic results.

Acquire the GEBCO 2003 world 1 minute gridded data set.  This turns out to be of no use.  The grid was made by digitizing hand contoured data and then re-gridding the data.  The data utilized were not as current a data set as we have.  This produced a product that is very different from the real data we have assembled.  It had been hoped that the data set could be a back drop to the data we have collected.

IVS Fledermaus program available to 3D viewing.  This was used to highlight regions with previously unnoticed spurious highs and lows.  These points were then removed and the data regridded in mbgrid.  The rest of the data flow was then repeated to get a final gridded product.

Rob Lartner at BAS sent 2 single channel tracks of bathymetry data from the RRS James Clark Ross as the final parts of this report were being checked prior to publication.
