Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The contour_m attribute is in meters and was derived
from analog records generated by a Uniboom seismic system.
The Uniboom employed for this project yield a penetration
averaging 50 m and a resolution 1-2 m.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Value: 1-2 m
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation: Ship motion reduced the published accuracy of this system.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No additional checks for topological consistency
were performed on this data set.
Completeness_Report: none
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Ship position was determined using Loran-C navigation
and fixes were recorded every 5 minutes and at
course changes.
185-460 m absolute accuracy; Typical absolute
(nonrepetitve) accuracy for Loran-C
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Local sea level provides the error
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: Tidal range in Long Island Sound is < 1m.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
These hand drawn contours were digitzed from mylar originals
using Arc/Info software. The digitzed data were joined with
Long Island Sound sections (contours were modified where
necessary to match at section boundaries) and then converted
to ArcView shapefile format.

Technical_Prerequisites:
The marinet overlay is available in an ArcView shapefile
format. The user must have ESRI's ArcView 3.0 or greater
software to read and process the data file. In lieu of
Arcview, the user may utilize another GIS application
package capable of importing the data.
