- 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 ship-track navigation collected aboard the R/V Asterias during a 1980 geophysical cruise in southern Rhode Island Sound. This 15-minute navigation point shapefile corresponds to a80_6lines2.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.

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).

Latitudes and longitudes converted by LoranGPS were copied into an Excel file containing additional information (date, time, line number, comments). 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 during scanning (if a line was too long to scan at once).

Added attribute field 'Minutes', the time in minutes after midnight, to the 15-minute navigation file using the field calculator in ArcGIS 9.2 to make the following calculation: (int ([time value]/100)*60) + [time value] - ((int([time value]/100))*100) where the attribute 'Time' is used as the time value. Added attribute field 'LineSplit', the line identification based on TIFF line segments. Added attribute field 'CommentSpl', the notation of start and end of line segments. Added attribute field 'LineOrig', the line identification of lines as recorded in the logbook. Added attribute fields 'CommentOri', the notation of start and ends of lines as recorded in the logbook; 'Source', the source of the data (logbook or 1-minute navigation shapefile); and 'Cruise_ID', the cruise identification.

- Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
-
Zeros in the fields TD1, TD2, latitude and longitude occur where a data point was imported from the 1-minute navigation shapefile (a80_6_1minnav_sort.shp). This point was not recorded in the logbook, so it does not have values for the time delays or the associated latitudes and longitudes attribute fields.
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.
Lines are named using the following convention: a80_607a_2 signifies the data is from the R/V Asterias in 1980 (cruise AST-80-6B), line 07, section a, SEG-Y segment 2.
