Abstract:
-
This GIS overlay is a component of the U. S Geological Survey, Woods Hole
Field Center's, Gulf of Mexico ArcView GIS database. The Gulf of Mexico
GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide
on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata.
-
Purpose:
-
This ArcView GIS layer is a 250 m version of the composite Gulf of Mexico
GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic.
-
Supplemental_Information:
-
This image has a white background surrounding the sidescan sonar mosaic.
The white background is more practical for user's wishing to utilize the
image for illustration purposes.
