Description:

Abstract:

This GIS layer contains the shiptrack navigation points collected aboard the RV UCONN during a 1984 geophysical cruise to west-central Long Island Sound. A boomer seismic system was used to collect the subbottom data.

Purpose:

The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of sub-bottom seismic profiles (boomer) collected in west-central Long Island Sound aboard the UCONN during 1984. The seismic data collected along these ship tracks can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

Source_Contribution:

High-resolution seismic-reflection data were collected during field work conducted in west-central Long Island Sound during 1984. This data set is the navigation from that cruise.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Selected navigation points from the original onboard logs were hand plotted on charts with Loran overlays. These overlays were then registered and digitized (using a Calcomp 9100 table and PC Arc/Info) to create point coverages with CT state plane coordinates. Attributes were added.
