Data sources produced in this process:
The primary navigation system used was a Lowrance 480M with an LGC-2000 Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna. The antenna was located 7.9 meters forward of the anchor point for the resistivity streamer, and approximately 3 meters forward of the fathometer transducer. These offsets were not entered into the GPS system. Additionally, because of navigation and fathometers issues, periodically the ship's navigation system was used to supplement these data. The ship had a Differential GPS (DGPS) system with the antenna placed in the same location as the Lowrance antenna. The fathometer was located (hull-mounted) roughly directly below the antenna, so no horizontal offset. Because of the mixture of systems, the accuracy is on the order of 20 meters.
All the bathymetric values from this day were collected by the ship's fathometer. This fathometer was hull mounted approximately midship, relatively close to the navigation antenna. The values are assumed to be accurate to within 1 meter.
There is a navigational fix and fathometer reading for every reading of resistivity data. No temperature data was recorded on this day.
No duplicate points are present. The navigational fixes and depth values were checked for valid values. Invalid data points were deleted. No other checks were performed.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
