Description:
Abstract:
During 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted a seismic-reflection survey utilizing Uniboom seismics in southern Rhode Island Sound aboard the Research Vessel Asterias. This cruise totalled 3 survey days. Data from this survey were recorded in analog form and archived at the USGS. Due to recent interest in the geology of Rhode Island Sound and in an effort to make the data more readily accessible while preserving the original paper records, the seismic data from this cruise were scanned and converted to TIFF images and SEG-Y data files. Navigation data were converted from LORAN-C time delays to latitudes and longitudes, which are available in ESRI shapefile format and as eastings and northings in space-delimited text format.
Purpose:
This GIS layer contains the 1-minute ship-track navigation collected aboard the R/V Asterias during a 1980 geophysical cruise in southern Rhode Island Sound. It corresponds with a80_6_segylines.shp and the SEG-Y and PNG files. It is part of a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of sub-bottom seismic profiles collected in Rhode Island Sound. The seismic data collected along these ship tracks can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attribute data were recorded by the science party and entered and checked by the compilers in a consistent manner.
Logical_Consistency_Report: The layers were edited and processed in a consistent manner.
Completeness_Report:
Complete information is provided for all navigation lines in the data set. Navigation points are spaced at 1-minute intervals and at course changes or line events (start/end of line). Continuous navigation is not available.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
All navigation was done by LORAN-C and was manually recorded. The cruise used the Group Repetition Interval 9960 Northeast U.S. chain and recorded time delays from Caribou, Maine (W) and Carolina Beach, N.C. (Y) slave transmitters. Absolute accuracy is 185 to 463 m based on <http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/loran/handbook/h-book.htm> (see Chapter III).

Added attribute fields LineID, 'shot', 'X' and 'Y', and 'Date_' using the field calculator to calculate conversions in ArcGIS9.2. The following equation was used to determine the shot number, using a fire rate of 0.5 seconds: (([timeval] - [first shot's minute value]) *120) +1. Eastings and northings (attributes X and Y) were added using the Add X, Y, Z Coordinates tool in XToolsPro 5.3 using UTM Zone 19, WGS84 projection.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
This metadata was partially generated by importing an existing metadata file in text format. A known bug in ArcCatalog is that importing metadata can under certain circumstances scramble some attribute tags. All the attributes and their definitions are present, but the order of the attributes in the metadata does not match the order of the attributes in the attribute table.
