    • Raster data
    • 1997

    Summary: This layer is a digital raster graphic of the 1- by 2-degree USGS topographic map of the Boston, Massachusetts quadrangle (NK 19-4), 1970, covering portions of New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and a large portion of eastern Massachusetts including the Boston Region. Scale 1:250,000. It is part of the Eastern United States 1:250,000 series (1- by 2-degree quadrangles) produced by the U.S. Geological Survey. The DRG was published in 1997. A digital raster graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) standard series topographic map, including all map collar information. The image inside the map neatline is georeferenced to the surface of the earth and fit to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection. The horizontal positional accuracy and datum of the DRG matches the accuracy and datum of the source map. The source paper map was prepared by the U.S. Army Topographic Command (RMPV) and published by the United States Geological Survey. Compiled in 1954 from United States Quadrangles, 1:24,000, 1:25,000, 1:31,680, and 1:62,500, 1897-1951. Planimetry revised from aerial photographs taken 1952. Map field checked 1955. Revised by the U.S. Geological Survey 1970. Selected hyrdrographic data compiled from USC&GS Charts. The names and numbers of the quadrangles which neighbor this one appear in a location diagram on the map collar in their respective positions (N,S,E,W) in relation to this map.

  10. Title: Kelp Canopy: Southern California, 2012

    • Polygon data
    • 2013
    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile is a thematic map representing mosaicked multi-spectral imagery targeting both exposed and submerged giant kelp beds along the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Point Mugu Sea Range. The imagery used to create this classification was acquired at a spatial resolution of 0.3 meters using a Microsoft UltraCam-X digital camera acquiring in the red, green, blue and near-infrared bands. The image mosaic product used for the classification is a result of the resampling of the 0.3 meter data to 2 meter GSD. Surface kelp canopy and subsurface kelp classifications are seperate. The imagery was collected on October 14-16, November 13-14 and December 9-10, 2012. This dataset is complete at this time, although the user should note any omissions. The data are projected in California Teale Albers using North American Datum 1983. File reindexed to match CDFW kelp administrative kelp bed boundaries modified by changes to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 165, effective April 1, 2014. This dataset is used to assess the extent of kelp resources along the Southern California coast (Point Loma to approximately 3.8 miles north of Point Conception) and includes the Channel Islands. Surface kelp canopy and subsurface kelp classifications are seperate. The data was collected and processed by Ocean Imaging under contract by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The user is cautioned against making direct comparisons between the various kelp surveys for the following reasons: (1)Timing of the survey is important, particularly with respect to growing season, conditions in the ocean, storms, and harvest levels preceding the dates of imagery collection. Season variability may account for differences in surveys which may not reflect a change in the bed's extent, productivity, or harvest level. (2) Statisical significance in change of area should be evaluated. To do this, a variance parameter is needed, which is obtained by repeated measurements. (3) Survey methods may not be consistent. Some method of calibration between the methods should be performed in order to insure a change of area is not due to survey instrumentation and not misinterpreted as a biological change. (4) An area where no kelp data are present may represent an area devoid of kelp, or may represent an area where kelp was not detected due to poor photo quality, missing photo coverage, or other issues with data collection and processing. Image coverage is extensive for the state, but the user is advised to consult the supplementary information for each year to determine whether imagery were acquired for an area of interest.

  11. Title: Kelp Canopy: Southern California, 2011

    • Polygon data
    • 2012
    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts the 2011 aerial kelp survey that was created from Digital Multi-Spectral Camera image files. The data was collected and processed by Ocean Imaging under contract by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). This mosaicked multi-spectral imagery targeted giant kelp beds along the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Point Mugu Sea Range. The area from Santa Monica Pier, Los Angeles county to Pt. Magu, Ventura county were not photographed. Some of the outer portions of kelp beds were cut off due to inadequate overlap in aerial surveys and these areas are noted in Grid Code 2. The imagery was collected on November 22 and December 07-08, 2011 from altitudes between 10,000 to 12,500 feet. Surveys were planned to coincide with periods of minimal change between high and low tides to avoid strong tidal induced currents. This dataset is complete, although the user should note any omissions. The data are projected in California Teale Albers using North American Datum 1983. File reindexed to match CDFW kelp administrative kelp bed boundaries modified by changes to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 165, effective April 1, 2014. The dataset is used to assess the extent of kelp resources along the Southern California coast (Point Loma to two miles north of Gaviota Beach). The dataset was collected and created with the same camera system and processing software as the 2008 survey. Surface and subsurface kelp canopy imagery was collected under the same classification scheme. The user is cautioned to look for areas which appear truncated. The user is cautioned against making direct comparisons between the various kelp surveys for the following reasons: 1) Timing of the survey is important, particularly with respect to growing season, conditions in the ocean, storms, and harvest levels preceding the dates of survey photography.

    Contributors:

    Summary: The data for this polygon shapefile was collected and created with the same camera system and processing software as the 2008 survey. Surface and subsurface kelp canopy imagery was collected and processed with separate classification schemes. The shapefile was created from Digital Multi-Spectral Camera image files. The data was collected and processed by Ocean Imaging under contract by the Resources Legacy Fund Foundation (RLFF) for the Marine Protected Areas Monitoring Enterprise. This dataset represents the 2009 aerial kelp survey. The imagery was collected on October 01, 2009 from an altitude of 12,500 feet. Surveys were planned to coincide with periods of minimal change between high and low tides to avoid strong tidal induced currents. This coverage is complete, although the user should note any omissions. The data are projected in California Teale Albers using North American Datum 1983. File reindexed to match CDFW kelp administrative kelp bed boundaries modified by changes to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 165, effective April 1, 2014.
