      <abstract>The data in this part of the release are bathymetry data collected in the nearshore using single-beam echosounders mounted on surf capable self-righting electric autonomous survey vehicles at the USGS DUring Nearshore Event eXperiment (DUNEX) site on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge (PINWR) and at the Basnight Bridge (BB), NC. In November 2020, April, September, and October 2021, USGS and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) scientists conducted multiple field surveys to collect the bathymetry as part of a topobathy time series. DUNEX is a multi-agency, academic, and non-governmental organization collaborative community experiment designed to study nearshore coastal processes during storm events. USGS participation in DUNEX will contribute new measurements and models that will increase our understanding of storm impacts to coastal environments, including hazards to humans and infrastructure and changes in landscape and natural habitats. Collected data are part of field activity 2021-029-FA and donated data 2020-024-DD and are related to field activity 2021-028-FA and 2021-032-FA.</abstract>
      <purpose>Single-beam trackline dataset is for mapping the elevation of the nearshore and can be used to create bathymetric products that can be merged with the topographic data in the larger citation.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Bathymetry in this section is single-beam sounding data and trackline, the interpolated single-beam echosounder products are merged with topography data in the larger ‘Topobathy’ section of the release. For more information about the data, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2020-024-DD and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2021-029-FA. Bounding coordinates represent the maximum bounds of the tracklines provided in this dataset.</supplinf>

      <attraccr>No official QC test was performed, but all depth values are internally consistent in relation to each other and are comparable to values of published bathymetry in the area (e.g. 2022 USGS CoNED Topobathy DEM (1851 - 2020): Coastal Carolinas, available at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/67013).</attraccr>

    <logic>The tracklines in the CSV files represent single-beam echo-sounder bathymetry data collected by Peter Traykovski (WHOI). These data were combined with post-processed kinematic (PPK) orthometric heights collected using a GNSS receiver (EMLID Reach M2) mounted on self-righting remote vehicles corrected to a base station (JAVAD Triumph) onshore in GEOID12B NAVD88 meters. The GNSS antenna offset from the echo-sounder is taken into account when calculating the seafloor depth; see Processing Steps.</logic>
    <complete>All collected survey line data were edited for erroneous soundings before being incorporated into the final topobathy grids in the larger citation. Beginning and end null values were removed from the raw trackline data but NaNs are still within the data.</complete>

        <horizpar>Navigation information was acquired from the GNSS receiver in PPK mode with a Multi-band GNSS antenna that has a theoretical horizontal accuracy of 1-5 cm and average reported SD of 1.0 cm.</horizpar>

        <vertaccr>The vertical navigational information was acquired from the GNSS receiver in PPK mode with a Multi-band GNSS antenna and hot shoe adapter with a theoretical horizontal accuracy of 1-5 cm and average reported SD of 1.6 cm. The navigational accuracies do not represent the accuracy of the derived bathymetric soundings. The vertical accuracy of the raw data in water depths of 10 meters or less, based on industry standard system specifications for 450 and 500 kHz transmit frequencies, is 5-10 centimeters.</vertaccr>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>The single-beam bathymetry data were collected by launching the remote vehicle. Two were used to collect single-beam data, the small surf vehicle (SSV) had an EA24 dual frequency (250/400 kHz) echosounder and the Yellowfin had a Cerulean s500 echosounder. The vehicles were controlled near the shore by Peter Traykovski and put on auto-pilot using predetermined tracklines for longer transects offshore.
The raw bathymetry data was processed with the following steps
1. Binary data was parsed (BU353s4 GPS Puck, Time, Position and Echosounder range) into MATLAB (v. 2020b) from the EA24 and s500 echosounders using MATLAB Scripts developed by Peter Traykovski at WHOI - see contact below
2. Post Processed Kinematic (PPK) GNSS (Novatel OEM-V2_L1L2) data from the vessel were corrected using the base station (Java Triumph-1) data in Novatel Inertial Explorer (Version 8.70.8722) using the datum NAD83(2011) and then the vertical datum NAVD88 GEOID 12B. A projection for UTM Zone 18N was also specified to get the Easting and Northing information.
3. Refined time alignment to account for any small time delays between GPS data and echosounder data collection. This is accomplished using the time lagged cross correlation of echosounder range and PPK GNSS altitude in locations with a relatively flat bottom. The resulting time shift was 18 seconds. The GPS measures vertical fluctuation of the boat due to waves and these fluctuations are also visible in echosounder data. The equation in Step 5 removes the vertical fluctuation due to waves from the echosounder data leaving only true bathymetry if GPS and the echosounder are well synced. The lagged cross correlation processing ensures they are synced optimally.
4. GPS values (GPS_z) were interpolated to time of echosounder samples collected at 450kHz with the MATLAB function interp1 (linear interpolation) and the 'pchip' parameter selected.
5. Seafloor elevation (referred to as seafloor_depth) was calculated with reference to the NAVD88 datum in meters using the following equation: Seafloor_depth = GPS_z + Echo_range – Antenna_Z_offset; the offset of the GNSS antenna to the echosounder transducer on the z-axis of the ASV is 0.43 m for the EA24 and 0.25 m for the Cerulean s500.
