NOAA Point Shapefile - ROV transects, US Caribbean - St. Thomas and St. John - Project NF-03-10-USVI - (2010), UTM 20N NAD83

This shapefile denotes the location of underwater photos and/or video that were collected by NOAA scientists using a Spectrum Phantom S2 ROV (remotely operated vehicle).  Photos and/or video were collected between 03/18/2010 and 04/05/2010 along 33 transects south of St. John and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. These photos and videos will be manually classified into different habitat classes, and integrated with the abiotic data collected by the acoustic sonar (sound navigation and ranging) systems to develop a benthic habitat map for the U.S. Caribbean. Habitat maps describe the location of habitat features (in relation to the shoreline), their physical composition and the types of organisms that colonize them. Fundamentally, habitat maps provide critical information about the extent, health and composition of marine resources, which is vital for communicating information about the distribution and abundance of species to resource managers, scientists and the p ublic.  Habitat maps also support an increasing number of landscape ecology studies, as well as the process of marine spatial planning, including the design and evaluation of marine protected areas (MPAs).

Hyperspectral Imagery for the Main Eight Hawaiian Islands:Oahu (203c-0613-332211)

This project is a cooperative effort among the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment; the University of Hawaii; and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC. The goal of the work was to develop coral reef mapping methods and compare benthic habitat maps generated by photointerpreting georeferenced color aerial photography, hyperspectral and IKONOS satellite imagery.  The enhanced spectral resolution of hyperspectral and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest.  Depending on the type of instrument, a spectral imaging system can be utilized to see multiple colors from ultraviolet through the far infrared range.  The AURORA hyperspectral imaging system collected 72 ten nm bands in the visible and near infrared spectral range with a 3 meter pixel resolution.  The data was processed to select band widths, which optimized feature detection in shallow and deep water.  Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.

Benthic Habitats of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands;Photomosaic of Puerto Rico (Guayanil), 1999

Habitat maps of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were created by visual interpretation of aerial photographs using the Habitat Digitizer Extension.  Aerial photographs are valuable tools for natural resource managers and researchers since they provide an excellent record of the location and extent of habitats.  However,spatial distortions in aerial photographs due to such factors as camera angle, lens characteristics, and relief displacement must be accounted for during analysis to prevent incorrect measurements of area, distance, and other spatial parameters. These distortions of scale within an image can be removed through orthorectification.  During orthorectification, digital scans of aerial photos are subjected to algorithms that eliminate each source of spatial distortion.  The result is a georeferenced digital mosaic of several photographs with uniform scale throughout the mosaic.  Features near land are generally georeferenced with greater accuracy while the accuracy of features away from land is generally not as good.  Where no land is in the original photographic frame only kinematic GPS locations and image tie points were used to georeference the images.  After the orthorectified mosaics were created, photointerpreters were able to accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor.

Characterization of reef fish populations within St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER), USVI

NCCOS' Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA) is working closely with a number of divisions in the USVI DPNR (e.g., Divisions of Fish and Wildlife and Coastal Zone Management), the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI), and The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to develop the baseline characterization of chemical contamination, toxicity, and the marine resources in the St. Thomas East End Reserve (STEER) in St. Thomas, USVI. The STEER contains extensive mangroves, seagrass beds and coral reefs. Within the watershed, however, are a large active landfill, numerous marinas, various commercial/industrial activities, an EPA Superfund Site, resorts, and several residential areas served by individual septic systems.  This baseline assessment will provide managers with critical information needed to help preserve and restore habitats, including a number of nursery areas within the STEER that are important to commercial and recreational fisheries.  As part of the characterization, a field survey was conducted in June 2012 to conduct a biological assessment of fish communities and benthic habitats within the STEER and at select hardbottom locations adjacent to STEER.  The basis for this work was the nearshore benthic habitats maps (less than 100 ft depth) created by NOAA's Biogeography Program in 2001 and NOS' bathymetry models.  Using ArcView GIS software, the digitized habitat maps were stratified to select sampling stations.  Sites were randomly selected within strata to ensure coverage of the entire study region. The habitat stratification was divided into three major habitat types: hardbottom which includes reef, pavement, etc. inside STEER; softbottom which consists of sand and seagrass, and mangrove.  In addition, two harbottom areas outside STEER of interest to STEER's Core Team were included as a separate stratum.  Using standardized protocols of NOAA's Coral Reef Ecosystem Monitoring Project, the fish and benthic habitat survey was conducted by two scientific divers.  During each dive one diver quantified the species and size of fish within a 25 x 4 m transect while a second diver characterized the habitat and invertebrate community.

TEAMER: Numerical Analysis of a Novel Nearshore at-surface WEC

This dataset comprises of raw numerical simulation data conducted on a novel nearshore at-surface wave energy converter (WEC). The testing aimed and was intended to provide a calibration then optimization regime through numerical analysis.

This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 10 (request for technical support) program.

This data builds upon the research and publication carried out in RFTS 4 regarding a unique half submerged, biconcave buoy that extracts surge and heave motions, but with further modifications that allow for a low number of moving parts, a passive severe force protection system and a more manufacturable design. To produce this raw data, Laminar Scientific Inc. worked with AMOG Consulting to carry out numerical analysis to analyze the performance of the concave buoy, novel nearshore at-surface WEC, analyze sensitivities to varied damping coefficients and stiffness, along with testing the different configurations of the severe force protection system.

This subset of data provides the raw data and scripts used through multiple phases of the project as specified through the scope of work stated in the report (TEAMER-Laminar_AMOG Test Plan Report). The Test Plan Report will be attached once available. 

The folders provided are as follows:
- Calibrated_Model_Phase
- Sensitivity_Model_Phase
- Final_Model_Normal
- Final_Model_Capitulated
- Final_Model_Extended_Scope

In the folders, there consists of raw data in .csv files with names specified as nm2023.j517_###_Model.001.#.##.Time_Histories_FM#.csv (see included README File for more information).These files are named according to the model phase, WEC orientation, wave height and wave period specific to its respective model phase wave matrix and comparing file. 

In each csv., data that was deemed necessary for the conduct of the project are labeled with units in SI. Accompanying each iteration folder, there provides a Julia Script that was used to create the plots used in the final report.

TEAMER: Experimental Characterization of a Laboratory-Scaled Oscillating Surge Wave Energy Converter

This data is a result of an experimental campaign to characterize the hydrodynamics and performance of a laboratory-scale oscillating surge wave energy converter (OSWEC). The device was 85 cm wide, 1.4 meters tall, and 14 cm thick and was tested in the Sea Wave Environmental Lab (SWEL) wave tank at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory which is 2.5 meters wide with a water depth of 1.3 meters. The device included fifteen pressure sensors on the flap face, two 6-axis load cells at the hinge, an encoder to measure flap position, and a motor to emulate a PTO and absorb power. We provide a full summary of the device and experiments in the TEAMER Post-Access Report titled "Optimal control of an oscillating surge wave energy converter".

This DropBox directory contains data from four types of experiments:
1. Buoyancy Tests - We measure the torque required to hold the flap at different angles to characterize buoyancy torque as a function of position.
2. Locked Flap (Excitation) Tests - We measure the torque on a locked flap subject to different wave parameters to extract the excitation torque coefficient. 
3. Forced Oscillation (Radiation) Tests - We force the flap to oscillate at different periods and amplitudes to extract added inertia and radiation damping coefficients.
4. Control Tests - We subject the flap to different waves and use a linear damping controller to emulate a PTO and extract absorbed power and capture width ratio (CWR) as a function of wave and control parameters. 

This data set includes raw and processed time series data from the encoder and load cells, as well as calculated hydrodynamic and performance parameters from the tests. We include a README document as well as a spreadsheet with individual test details as a reference.

Funding for this experimental campaign was provided by the TEAMER Program under RFTS 10 and was a collaboration between the University of Washington and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
