gom15ctr: Construction of Digital Bathymetry for the Gulf of Maine
Entry ID:
CZM_moris_gom15ctr_arc
Summary
Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting studies of the sea floor geology in the Gulf of Maine and along the New England Shelf that provide geologic framework information for habitat, resource, and environmental studies. This data set provides bathymetric contours for the Gulf of Maine GIS project area. Note: These data were reprojected from their native projection into North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) / Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system, Mainland Zone (Fipszone 2001) meters by the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management on June 26, 2006.
Purpose: A system-wide description of the seafloor topography is a basic requirement for most coastal oceanographic studies. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic informationsystems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information. CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: publication date SPATIAL DATA ...

Use Constraints
USE CONSTRAINTS: Bathymetry is not to be used for navigational purposes. Public domain data from the U.S. government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution. Please recognize the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as the source of this information.
DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION Technical Prerequisites: The data are available in Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) shapefile format. The user must have ArcGIS® or ArcView® 3.0 or greater software to read and process the data file. In lieu of ArcView or ArcGIS, the user may utilize another GIS application package capable of importing data. A free data viewer, arcexplorer, is available from ESRI at www.esri.com.
