- 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 shot point navigation collected aboard the R/V Asterias during a 1980 geophysical cruise in southern Rhode Island Sound. It is formatted for use in Landmark SeisWorks with the SEG-Y files from this cruise. 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.

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).

The text file was transferred to a LINUX computer and converted from DOS to Unix using Dos2Unix command. An AWK script was used to reformat the text file as right justified fields with space delimiters in the order Unique Line ID, shot number, easting, and northing, in order to generate a format ready to import into the seismic interpretation package, Landmark Graphics, SeisWorks. The easting and northing values are rounded to the nearest meter.
