Description:
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 250m version of the composite Gulf of Mexico GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic.
Supplemental_Information:
This version of the image has an "ice blue" background surrounding the mosaic area. This image is used with the ArcView project views.
