Virginia Institute of Marine Science 20201202 vector digital data https://www.vims.edu//sav The 2020 Chesapeake Bay SAV Coverage was mapped from digital multispectral imagery with a 25cm GSD to assess water quality in the Bay. WorldView 2 satellite imagery acquired from Digital Globe through the NGA NextView program was used to augment the aerial imagery for the Susquehanna Flats; the Gunpowder River; the Eastern Neck area of the Chester River; Aquia Creek and a middle section of the Potomac River; Anacostia River and northernmost area of the Potomac River; the New Point Comfort area of Mobjack Bay; and Nassawadox Creek, Hungars Creek, and Mattawoman Creek. Each area of SAV was interpreted from the rectified imagry and classified into one of four density classes by the percentage of cover. The SAV beds were entered into an SDE GIS fetaure class using the quality control procedures documented below. The dataset contains all SAV areas that were identified from the areas flown. Some areas that are presumed to contain no SAV were not flown. Some small beds, particularly along narrow tributaries may not have been distinguishable on the aerial photography. The annual SAV aerial photographic monitoring program provides a comprehensive and accurate measure of change in SAV relative abundance that has been used to link improving water quality to increases in bay living resources. 20190529 20190922 ground condition Complete Irregular -77.588763 -74.999616 39.756832 36.653889 None vegetative surface cover submerged aquatic vegetation SAV ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota environment None Chesapeake Bay Chincoteague Bay U.S. Postal State Abbreviations VA DE MD U.S. Department of Commerce, 1987, Codes for the identification of the States, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas of The United States, and associated areas (Federal Information Processing Standard 5-2):Washington ,D.

The density attribute for all beds has been reviewed by an experienced photo-interpreter for correctness and consistency with analysis for prior years. The GIS data has been cross-checked against data tables and ground observations. The dataset contains all SAV areas that were identified from the areas flown. Some areas that are presumed to contain no SAV were not flown. Some small beds, particularly along narrow tributaries may not have been distinguishable on the aerial photography. Turbid conditions and poor weather conditions in 2019 prevented us from mapping the northern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula Coastal Bays zone, including Chincoteague, Sinepuxent, Isle of Wight, and Assawoman bays, representing 3,641 ha of SAV in 2017 (8,996 ac, 55% of the zone total). Horizontal positional accuracy is based upon orthorectification of scanned aerial photography using USGS digital orthothophoto quadrangles for horizontal control and USGS 30m DEM data as vertical control. Horizontal RMSE for individual flightlines was held to less than four meters. Horizontal positional accuracy of the imagery is evaluated as part of the orthorectification process throught the use of at least one check point for every two frames.

ERDAS IMAGINE Photogrammetry image processing software is used to orthographically correct the individual flight lines using a bundle block solution. Camera lens calibration data is matched to the image location of fiducial points to define the interior camera model. Control points from USGS DOQQ images, National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), Virginia Base Mapping Program (VBMP), MD Six Inch, and ESRI World imagery provide the exterior control, which is enhanced by a large number of image-matching tie points produced automatically by the software when IMU data were not available. The exterior and interior models are combined with a 10-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) to produce an orthophoto for each aerial photograph. The orthophotographs area combined into mosaic datasets for each flightline which are then combined into a single Bay-wide mosaic dataset. 20200428 The state boundaries were overlayed on the dataset by VIMS staff, dividing any beds that fell into multiple states. 20201202 The bay segments were overlayed on the dataset by VIMS staff, dividing any beds that fell into multiple segments. 20201202 The SAV beds are interpreted on-screen from the orthophoto mosaics using ESRI ArcGIS software. The identification and delineation of SAV beds by photo interpretation utilizes all available information including: knowledge of aquatic grass signatures on film, distribution of SAV in 2020 from aerial imagery, 2020 ground survey information, and aerial site surveys. National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) aerial imagery, as well as WorldView 2 and 3 satellite imagery acquired from Digital Globe through the NGA NextView program, WorldView 4 imagery purchased from Apollo Mapping, and PlanetScope satellite imagery from Planet Labs was used to augment the aerial imagery in portions of the Bay and tributaries where imagery had not been acquired because of highly turbid water, weather, and security restrictions during the acquisition phase. In addition to delineating SAV bed boundaries, an estimate of SAV density within each bed was made by visually comparing each bed to an enlarged crown density scale similar to those developed for estimating crown cover of forest trees from aerial photography (Paine, 1981). Bed density was categorized into one of four classes based on a subjective comparison with the density scale. These were: 1, very sparse (<10% coverage); 2, sparse (10-40%); 3, moderate (40-70%); or 4, dense (70-100%). Either the entire bed or subsections within the bed were assigned a bed density number (1 to 4) corresponding to the above density classes. Some beds were subsectioned to delineate variations of SAV density. Additionally, each distinct SAV bed or bed subsection was assigned an identifying one or two letter designation unique to its map. Coupled with the appropriate SAV quadrangle number and year of photography, these letter designations uniquely identify each SAV bed in the database. 20211203 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 7005 NAD 1983 UTM Zone 18N 0.9996 -75.0 0.0 500000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.000000002220024164500956 0.000000002220024164500956 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 beds20 VIMS VIMS - SAV Program ST U.S. State which contains the SAV bed US State Abbreviations MD Maryland State Abbreviations DC Washington DC State Abbreviations DE Delaware State Abbreviations VA Virginia State Abbreviations BEDID Two-letter SAV bed identifier.
