The raster data file is included in "SedimentThickness_SaltPointToDrakesBay.zip," which is accessible from http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/781/SaltPointToDrakesBay/data_catalog_SaltPointToDrakesBay.html. As part of the USGS's California State Waters Mapping Project, a 20-m grid of sediment thickness for the seafloor within the 3-nautical mile limit between Salt Point and Drakes Bay was generated from seismic-reflection data collected in 2009 (USGS activity (S-8-09-NC) supplemented with outcrop and geologic structure from DS 781. The resulting grid covers an area of approximately 717 sq km. The volume of sediment accumulated since the Last Glacial Maximum is approximately 6,800 million cubic meters. Contours at 2.5-meter intervals were derived from this grid. Purpose: These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. This information is not intended for navigational purposes. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.

Logical_Consistency_Report: All vector geometry and attributes present. Completeness_Report: Sediment thickness data points exported from Seisworks profiling software were processed within the California 3-nmi limit. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The chirp sonar instrument is deployed under the research vessel with about 10m of variation in position. The sparker position may vary as much as 20m from the navigation reference on the vessel. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Estimated to be approximately 1 m, along the track lines where data is well constrained, but may be much greater in areas where interpolation occurred.
