Jenkinsla_cmpThis component data layer (CMP) file gives information about selected components (minerals, rock type, microfossils, benthic biota) and seafloor features (bioturbation, structure, ripples) at a given site. Values in the attribute fields represent the membership to that attribute's fuzzy set. For components such as minerals, rocks, micro-biota and plants, and/or epifauna and infauna, corals and other geologic and biologic information, the value depends on sentence structure and other components in description. For features (denoted by an asterisk) such as ripples, ophiuroids, sponges, shrimp, worm tubes, lamination, lumps, grading, and/or bioturbation, the value of the fuzzy set depends on the development of the attribute. Only the relative fuzzy presence of components and features can be determined; the absence of information does not indicate a lack of the attribute, only lack of information about that attribute.To build a digital mapping of the character of the seabed on regional, national and global scales. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.This data layer is a subset of the original usSEABED Gulf Coast data release version 1.0, and is geographically clipped to the greater Louisiana geographical region.en2007 publication datePlannedAs needed-94.396670-88.20200030.64300026.405000-94.396670-88.20200026.40500030.643000GeneralanalysesCMGPCoastal and Marine Geology ProgramdbSEABEDdescriptionsgeologygrain sizeMarine Aggregates Resources and Processesseabedseafloorsediment datatextureU.S. Geological SurveyUSGSusSEABEDWoods Hole Science CenterUniversity of ColoradoInstitute of Arctic and Alpine ResearchBenthic Habitats (Pacific) ProjectPacific Science CenterWHSCPSCINSTAARISO 19115 Topic Categoryoceans and estuarieslocationgeoscientificInformationNASA/Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Earth Science Keywords.

Each source report varies in type of information/data recorded and format. Only those observations that are recorded can be filtered and mined; only presence (not absence) or information can be noted.Additional useable data may exist in this area; the authors appreciate any information and leads.Locational accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the navigational technique from the individual data sources and may vary widely (e.g., from 0.005km (differential GPS) in more recent surveys to greater than 2 km based on radar, Loran, or dead reckoning in older surveys.) Users of the data should use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations.Locational accuracy is dependent on the accuracy of the navigational technique from the individual data sources.
