Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

For usSEABED, the digital data and scanned report were downloaded via the web, visually compared to source and corrected. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters.

Completeness_Report:

All available textural, statistical data are included in usSEABED. Additional data (carbonate, organic carbon percents; Munsell color) were digitized by the USGS for inclusion into usSEABED. Geophysical data were not digitized.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Navigational techniques not recorded in report; latitudes and longitudes given to degrees, minutes.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Water depth determination technique not noted in report. Water depths given in meters.
