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 the shot-point navigation data with shot points at the beginning and end of each line and with shot points every 500 shots along the line for the Boomer seismic-reflection data collected along five lines in the vicinity of Edgartown Harbor, offshore Massachusetts in geographic, WGS84.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: All attributes were checked in a consistent manner.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Completeness_Report:
Shot points at the beginning and end of each line and with shot points every 500 shots along the Boomer seismic acquisition lines collected during the RV Rafael cruise 08034 are included in this data set. There is no navigation for line 3 between shot points 794 and 1449.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
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. Navigation went down between 16:08:06 and 16:12:13, so line file 3 is interpolated.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
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_Step:
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 v4003.0065 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 from the header. 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 text file.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A shot-point navigation file that has points at the beginning and end of each line with shot points every 500 shots along the line were created with ArcTools 9.2 Linear Referencing Tools using the shot point and shot line files created for the Boomer dataset. First, the file with unique shot-point positions was used to create a polyline file using an in-house utility, Convert Points to Line v.2. Under ArcToolbox, Linear Referencing Tools, a feature class was created with Create Routes with the polyline file as input and the measure source being length. Next, a polylineM file was created with Calibrate Routes using the route feature class created in the previous step and the unique shot-point position as input. The measure field associated with the polylineM file was Shot. The layer properties of the polylineM file and the Hatch Class definition was set to an interval of 500 (shots) and the end hatches were defined to create the start and end shots of each line. In ArcMap 9.2 a custom tool was created under Linear Referencing commands to convert hatches to graphics. XToolsPro was used to convert graphics to a shapefile. The attributes Line and Shot were added to the event table properties using Locate Features Along Routes. The resulting DBF file was converted to an event feature using Make Route Event Layer using Line as the route identifier and shot as the measure field. The event feature was added to the ArcMap data frame and exported to a shapefile. Finally, the attributes were sorted using line as the primary field and shot as the secondary field using VAC Extras, Table Sort to make sure shot points were in sequential order.
