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.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The layers were edited and processed in a consistent manner. Completeness_Report: 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 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.
