- Description:

- Abstract:
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the
Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing
detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally
collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental
framework for research and management activities along this part of the
Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the
seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic
habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from the combined
single-beam and multibeam echo-sounder data and sidescan-sonar data
collected in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, Massachusetts. During
August 2008 seismic-reflection profiles (Boomer and Chirp) were
acquired, and during September 2008 bottom photographs and surficial
sediment data were acquired as part of two ground-truth reconnaissance
surveys.
- Purpose:
- To release a polyline data set for the Boomer
seismic-reflection data collected along five lines in the vicinity of
Edgartown Harbor, offshore Massachusetts. The Boomer data were
collected to interpret the deeper stratigraphy beneath Edgartown
Harbor.

- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- No additional checks for topological consistency were
performed on this data.
- Completeness_Report:
- All available trackline data along Boomer seismic acquisition
lines collected during the RV Rafael cruise 08034 is included in this
data set. There is no navigation for line 3 between shot points 794 and
1449. For this segment of line 3, the line is a linear interpolation
between shots 794 and 1449.

- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Navigation was
by DGPS; positional accuracy to less than 10 m. The Boomer source was
towed astern and to the port side of the RV Rafael on the water
surface. The single-channel hydrophone streamer was towed astern and to
the starboard side and approximately 0.5 meters below the water
surface. The layback offset was accounted for in the positional data
recorded in the SEG-Y headers. The layback position was 8 meters aft of
the vessel.

- Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The vertical position was local sea level and there
have been no corrections to a datum or for tidal variations.

- Process_Description:
- High-resolution Boomer seismic-reflection data were
collected August 20 aboard the Research Vessel Rafael. The seismic data
were acquired digitally along 5 lines totaling approximately 27.6 km
with a GeoAcoustics Boomer source, GeoAcoustics power supply, Benthos
AQ4 single-channel streamer, and Chesapeake Systems SonarWiz v4.03.0089
acquisition software. The Boomer was fired at a rate of 0.5 seconds at
a power output of 175 joules. The received signal was filtered between
100-3000 Hz with a GeoPulse receiver. The trace data recorded for 266
ms with a sample rate of 0.533 ms in standard SEG-Y format.

- Process_Description:
- A script was run that used Seismic Unix 4.0 to read
the SEG-Y files and extract shot number, horizontal position, year,
day, and time of day. AWK was used to parse the ASCII data and convert
position in seconds of arc to decimal degrees. The ASCII file was
filtered using Linux sort to keep only the unique horizontal positions
output to a comma delimited file.

- This data set includes the line navigation for boomer
seismic-reflection data collected along five lines in the vicinity of
Edgartown Harbor, offshore Massachusetts. The seismic data were
collected during USGS survey 08034, conducted August 20, 2008. This
data set was acquired to ground-truth acoustic data collected during
NOAA hydrographic survey H11346. The seismic data were collected during
USGS survey 08034, conducted August 20, 2008. Navigation went down
between 16:08:06 and 16:12:13, so line file 3 is interpolated.
