For inclusion into usSEABED: digitization and formatting April Villagomez (USGS); Corrections: Jane Reid (USGS) and Chris Jenkins (University of Colorado) Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Statistical data was digitized by hand (typed in) at NGDC. For usSEABED, digital data and the scanned reported were downloaded via the web, visually compared to source and corrected. Additional data may have been included from the scanned report, also available online. Where appropriate, data were tested for completeness using MS Excel. Locations checked using GIS. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within normal ranges for the given parameters. Completeness_Report: Textural and grainsize data available are included. Additional data available from scanned report. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigational techniques not recorded in report; latitudes and longitudes given in degrees, minutes, hundredths. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water depth determination technique not noted in report. Water depths were given, subsample depths in centimeters from top of core.
