Multiple Bathymetric Datasets

Limited bay bathymetry

  • NOAA – Offshore datasets
  • LIDAR – Shoreline and nearshore (important for structure resolution)
  • Channel

NJ State maintains north channel and north bay channel

Federally maintained entrance and south channel (15 years)

  • NAN-supported field data collection

Included bathymetry of the backbay (Spring High Tide)

Prep for the Coastal Modeling System

  • Based off of a Cartesian grid
  • Planar coordinate system
  • Model computation is in metric and depths are positive from zero (elevations are flipped)
  • Grid is generated based off of a single bathymetry file stored in SMS scatterset file format
  • Vertical datum is not specified and is assumed local
  • The boundary condition forcing (tidal) must be in the same datum as the bathymetry
  • Typically modeling grids are brought to a mean datum such as mean sea level (msl) or mean tide level (mtl)
  • This requires that all datasets are brought in to unified projection, datum, and units
  • Shark River Inlet bathymetry will be converted to State Plane horizontal coordinates in meters with the vertical datum set to MSL in meters


Reprojecting Coordinates and Changing Datums

NewOrleansDataset 9.png

Object Projection tells SMS what the coordinates are to be project in. This can modify the location that SMS will display the dataset. Checking “Specify” Project Projection is how coordinates are converted to a different projection and vertical datum.


Converting Elevations to Depths (CMS Requirement)

NewOrleansDataset 10.png

Data Transform Can adjust scatterset data by scaling, translating (adding/subtracting), or rotating horizontal or veritcal

NewOrleansDataset 11.png

Select Depths Elevations Flips negative elevations to positive depths. Necessary for CMS model calculation.

LIDAR

NewOrleansDataset 23.png

  • Files are emailed in separate sections from the NOAA CSC Archive
  • Typically several to 10s of files that are 5 - 100 mb in size
  • Compiling takes time
  • Points have been sampled/filtered and cropped to area of interest
  • Horizontal Datum:

State Plane NAD83 New Jersey 2900 (ft) Vertical Datum: NAVD88 (ft)

NewOrleansDataset 30.png

  • Added extra bay contour (set to -0.75 m)


Convert a Shapefile to Map

NewOrleansDataset 31.png

  • Drag and drop the shapefile (.shp)

NewOrleansDataset 32.png

  • Highlight all Coastline Mapping – Shapes and Feature Objects

NewOrleansDataset 33.png

  • Turn off GIS Data Arcs generated where GIS polylines

Convert a Map to Scatter

NewOrleansDataset 34.png

  • Highlight all Arcs, Rt-Click Redistribute Vertices Specified Spacing (spacing in spatial coordinates)

NewOrleansDataset 35.png

  • Feature Objects Map à Scatter Include all feature points and vertices (vertices spacing was set to 10)

  • Modify as necessary (i.e. remove entrance channel shoreline because it is old seawall and jetty configuration – LIDAR used here)


Create a Contour Polyline in the Map Module

File:NewOrleansDataset 39.png

Select Default Coverage under Map Data

  • Type à Generic à Mapping/Observation/Shoals

NewOrleansDataset 40.png

  • Draw arcs (polylines) feature with tool

NewOrleansDataset 41.png

  • Select arcs and convert the z elevation to the desired contour elevation


Create Scatterset Points from Map Data

NewOrleansDataset 42.png

  • Select arcs to redistribute the spacing of vertices Feature Objects à Redistribute Vertices Specify Spacing based on horizontal coordinate system units (metric in this case)

NewOrleansDataset 43.png

  • Feature Objects à Map>Scatter Include Feature Pts and vertices and the Arc Elevations

All Files Referenced to Same Horizontal and Vertical Datum

NewOrleansDataset 47.png

  • Delete unnecessary data points (check alignment and elevations in overlapping datasets)


Merging Scattersets

NewOrleansDataset 49.png

  • Merging all scattersets will integrate all points. Overlapping areas of scattersets should either be deleted, or use a separate method of merging (by prioritizing using triangles).
