U.S. Geological Survey Data Series 310
Trackline maps were created with ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 software, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved in JPEG format. These images can be accessed through the links provided below or from within the CRUISENAV folder. The navigation data used to create these maps have not been corrected for the offset between the shotpoint and GPS antenna (see fig. 1). For more information about the GIS project, refer to the Software page.
The trackline maps contain links to interactive profiles, printable profiles, and line navigation maps. The line navigation maps, which have been corrected for the GPS offset, were created with CTI SonarWeb software and are stored in the LINENAV folder. Refer to the Profiles page for more information about the interactive and printable profiles.
NOTE: No navigation fixes were recorded to the SEG-Y headers for tracklines 06c50 - 06c57. To recreate these lines, the navigation data were stripped from coincident sidescan sonar tracklines and merged with the seismic shotpoints to produce the reconstructed navigation shown on the trackline maps and in the navigation files.
Shotpoint navigation files and 1,000-shot-interval location files were extracted from the trace headers of each line using Seismic Unix software. These files were then processed with PROJ.4 software (http://www.remotesensing.org/proj) to generate UTM coordinates from latitude and longitude coordinates and reformatted for use with ESRI GIS software. The processed navigation data have not been corrected for the offset between the shotpoint and GPS antenna (see fig. 1).
The processed shotpoint navigation and 1,000-shot-interval location files can be accessed through the links provided below or from within the NAV folder. Each ASCII text file contains eight fields separated by commas and defined as follows:
Field 1: UTM X (Zone 16)
Field 2: UTM Y (Zone 16)
Field 3: Trackline Number
Field 4: Shotpoint Number
Field 5: Longitude (decimal degrees)
Field 6: Latitude (decimal degrees)
Field 7: Year
Field 8: Day of Year:Hour:Minute:Second (UTC)
Processed Shotpoint Navigation (14.5-MB ASCII text file)
Reconstructed Shotpoint Navigation (1.8-MB ASCII text file)
Processed 1,000-Shot-Interval Location Navigation (58-KB ASCII text file)
Reconstructed 1,000-Shot-Interval Location Navigation (7-KB ASCII text file)
Shotpoint navigation files were extracted from the trace headers of each line using Seismic Unix software. Unprocessed navigation files are stored as ASCII text files in the RAWNAV folder by field activity ID. These navigation data have not been corrected for the offset between the shotpoint and GPS antenna (see fig. 1). Each file contains six fields separated by a space and defined as follows:
Field 1: Trackline Number
Field 2: Shotpoint Number
Field 3: Longitude (decimal degrees)
Field 4: Latitude (decimal degrees)
Field 5: Year
Field 6: Day of Year:Hour:Minute:Second (UTC)
