Abstract:
Bathymetric surface grid derived from bathpt57. Several studies of sedimentation and sediment composition have been conducted in Tillamook Bay (e.g., Avolio 1973, Glenn 1978, Komar 1997). The latter report provides an overview of what is known about sedimentation of the bay, which is an important environmental concern because of its influence on habitat quality and navigation. Bathymetric surveys were conducted in 1867, 1957, and 1994/1995. E&S performed a comparative analysis for TBNEP of the available historical bathymetric data sets for the bay. The objective of this analysis was to quantify, to the extent possible, the changes in bathymetry that occurred between the times of the available surveys. It is considered likely that the bay has received excessive contributions of ? the breach of Bayocean Spit between 1952 and 1956 ? deforestation in the watershed ? the Tillamook Burns of 1933, 1939, 1945, and 1951 ? land use practices in the watershed, including road construction, agriculture, and urbanization The greatest impacts of these sources of sedimentation probably occurred prior to the 1957 bathymetric survey. In addition, the bay has been altered in a variety of other ways that have undoubtedly affected its bathymetry. These include the drainage of wetlands and construction of dikes and levees. The inlet from the ocean was modified by constructing jetties, and dredging of navigation channels has occurred throughout this century (Percy et al. 1974). The most catastrophic change occurred in 1952 when the spit was breached just north of the current location of Cape Meares Lake. This may have been due to erosion of Bayocean spit in response to construction of the north jetty. The breach remained open until a dike was constructed in 1956 to close it off.

Purpose:
We developed bathymetric maps for each of the data sets in a consistent fashion. This allowed direct comparison between surveys to permit quantification of the changes that occurred in the depth of the bay during the intervening periods. Several studies of sedimentation and sediment composition have been conducted in Tillamook Bay (e.g., Avolio 1973, Glenn 1978, Komar 1997). The latter report provides an overview of what is known about sedimentation of the bay, which is an important environmental concern because of its influence on habitat quality and navigation. Bathymetric surveys were conducted in 1867, 1957, and 1994/1995. E&S performed a comparative analysis for TBNEP of the available historical bathymetric data sets for the bay. The objective of this analysis was to quantify, to the extent possible, the changes in bathymetry that occurred between the times of the available surveys.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The variance associated with the 1957 bathymetric surface illustrates the unfortunate nature of this survey. The spacing of data points along the horizontal survey transects was much less than the spacing between transects. Thus, the variance is low in strips across the bay that lie about each of the transects The variance between transects is high (> 10 ft).The range (r) of the semivariogram for 1867 was 584 m, as compared with 271 m in 1957 and 481 m in 1995 .Other potential sources of error in the bathymetric maps include 
1.positional accuracy of the collected data,
2.depth measurements,
3.data entry and processing,
4.changing scale between and within data sets,
and
5.the density and spatial configuration of the
data points (Burroughs 1986).

Process_Description:
The bathymetric coverages were developed by interpolating surfaces from the survey data points. Many different interpolation techniques exist for generating surfaces from point measurements. We chose to use ordinary kriging because it is well suited to irregularly spaced data, is custom fit with a geostatistical model, and allows for calculation of variance associated with the interpolation. Kriging is one of the most common geostatistical methods for interpolating point data into three-dimensional surfaces. It is a least squares prediction method that includes a spline interpolation (Jernigan, 1986), and it assumes that the spatial variability in a surface is statistically homogeneous throughout the data. Kriging calculates a weighted moving average equation which estimates the true value of a regionalized variable and site specific location (Deutsch and Journel 1992, Cressie 1991). In order to perform kriging, the spatial correlation structure of the data needs to be assessed. A variogram model provides the interpretation of the correlation structure of the data (Englund and Sparks 1988). The variogram is used to evaluate the spatial correlation of data points in the data base (Webster and Oliver 1990). This is determined by representing the correlation among sample points separated by specific distances (y(h)). The model was fitted interactively and graphical examination of the semivariogram assisted in determining a good model fit (Jernigan 1986). A Gaussian distribution was chosen to fit the model to the data. FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION SEE TILLBATH.TXT
