ArcView Project Description
This CD-ROM contains an Environmental
Systems Research Institute (ESRI)
ArcView 3.2 Geographic Information System (GIS) project
file: of03-150.apr, stored within the arcview directory.
This project file contains the sidescan-sonar mosaic, JPEG
images of the seismic data, Digital Elevation Model of
the study area, trackline data, grab sample and sound velocity
profile locations, and photographs of grab samples and JPGs of the sound
velocity profiles.
If the user does not have access to ArcView 3.2 or higher,
ESRI's
free view, ArcExplorer, may be used. See the
ESRI
webiste for a detailed description of this product and download instructions.
Note: ESRI
supports Microsoft Windows/XP and UNIX systems. Macintosh users
will not be able to view the GIS project file, of03-150.apr, as
ESRI
does not support Macintosh operating systems.

Loading the Project File:
- of03-150.apr contains a startup script, Drive Selection.
This script will run upon startup and will prompt the user for
the directory path to the images directory. This information
is needed to establish 'hotlinks' found within the project file.
This script can also be accessed within the project file. Click on
the 'fireworks' button (displayed at right), found on the menu/button bar within of03-150,
to rerun the Drive Selection script. This button enables the user to modify the
directory path to the images directory at any time.

Extensions:
- Within of03-150.apr, vector (trackline) data are 'hotlinked'
to JPEG
image files of the seismic data, photographs of the grab samples,
and images of the sound velocity profiles. Therefore, the
JPEG (JFIF)
Image Support extension must be loaded in order to view
these image files. This extension is loaded by default within
the project file.
- This project file utilizes RASTER image files (TIFF)
compressed with LizardTech
MrSID Geospatial Encoder 1.3.1 image compression utility. In order
to load and view these files the MrSID Image Support
extension must be loaded. This extension will be loaded by
default within of03-150.apr.

Views:
The 'Bear Lake'View within of03-150.apr is projected
in the following coordinate system: UTM,
WGS84 datum, Zone 12, meters. All raster image and
grid data are also projected in UTM. All point and
vector data are stored in decimal degrees.
NOTE: Hotlinks - The seismic trackline data, sample and
sound velocity profile locations are 'hotlinked' to JPEG
images of the seismic data, photographs of the sediment samples,
and images of the sound velocity profiles, respectively. To view
the JPEG images,
activate either the trackline, sample or sound velocity profile
shapefile by clicking the shapefile
name within the View Table of Contents. Click on the lightening
bolt 
within the tool menu bar, then click on an individual trackline
or sample location within the active theme. A JPEG
image of the seismic data collected along the chosen line will appear.
The JPEG images
are stored in a view window; the user can zoom, pan, and alter the
window size. Click on the X in the upper right corner to close the
window.
