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.
