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 tracklines of the ship-track navigation collected aboard the R/V Asterias during a 1980 geophysical cruise in southern Rhode Island Sound. It is a polyline shapefile that corresponds to a80_6nav_sort.shp and the black and white TIFF images. 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.

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 approximately 15-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). Lineage: Source_Information: Source_Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: C.

This data set used the latitude and longitude coordinates converted from the LORAN-C time delays described in the n80_1nav.shp metadata (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1002/data/nav/n80_1_15minnav/n80_1_15minnav.zip). Process_Step: Process_Description: The 15-minute navigation of individual seismic lines was connected using Points to Line v2 in VACExtras v 1.91 using the attribute "LineSeg" as the unique line identifier. These lines correspond to the black and white TIFF images. Lines are named using the following convention: for instance, 7a signifies the line 7, section a. Lower case letters refer to sections of the line that were split during data collection or scanning (if a line was too long to scan all at once).

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.
