Initiated in 2003, the primary objective of this program is to develop regional geologic framework information for the management of coastal and marine resources. Accurate data and maps of sea-floor geology are important first steps toward protecting fish habitat, delineating marine resources, and assessing environmental changes due to natural or human impacts. The project is focused on the inshore waters of Massachusetts, primarily in depths between 3 and 30 meters. Data collected for the mapping cooperative have been released in a series of USGS Open-File Reports (http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/coastal_mass/html/current_map.html). This spatial dataset is from the study area located in northern Cape Cod Bay, and consists of high-resolution geophysics (bathymetry, backscatter intensity, and seismic reflection) and ground validation (sediment samples, video tracklines, and bottom photographs). The data were collected during five separate surveys conducted between 2003 and 2008 (USGS-WHSC surveys 06012 in 2006; 07001, 07002, and 07003 in 2007; and 08002 in 2008) and cover more than 480 square kilometers of the inner continental shelf. More information about the individual USGS surveys that are were conducted as part of the northern Cape Cod Bay project can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpage: 06012: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2006/06012/ 07001: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07001/ 07003: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07003/ 07002: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2007/07002/ 08002: http://quashnet.er.usgs.gov/data/2008/08002/ Purpose: JPEG images of each seismic profile were generated in order to incorporate images of the seismic profiles into Geographic Information System (GIS) projects and data archives utilizing HTML. The JPEG images represent approximately 3270 km of EdgeTech SB-512i, EdgeTech SB-424, and Knudsen 3200 chirp seismic-reflection profiles collected within northern Cape Cod Bay. Each profile image is hotlinked to its corresponding trackline navigation contained within the ESRI polyline shapefile 'CCBay_SeismicTrackline.shp'. Even 500 shot index markers along the top of the JPEG images correlate to the positions of 500 shot intervals within the ESRI point shapefile 'CCBay_SeismicShot_500.shp'.

Quality control was conducted during processing. Completeness_Report: Only the subsets of seismic-reflection data collected during field activities 06012 and 07001 that are within the northern Cape Cod Bay study area have been included in this raster dataset. Approximately 1920 km of additional seismic-reflection profiles collected north of Brant Rock, Massachusetts during these field activities were published in USGS Open-File Report 2009-1072 Geophysical and Sampling Data from the Inner Continental Shelf: Duxbury to Hull, Massachusetts (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2009/1072/). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Field activities 06012 and 07002: The SB-0512i was mounted on a catamaran sled and towed at the sea surface approximately 30 - 40 m astern of the R/V Megan T. Miller. Position data were provided by a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation receiver mounted on the catamaran, and data were transmitted to the acquisition computer on the vessel via a 2.4 GHz radio link. During some portions of field activity 06012, technical difficulties caused the GPS system mounted on the catamaran to malfunction. In these instances Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS navigation was obtained from a receiver mounted above the interferometric sonar head (This applies to files l99f2000 through l224f1000 acquired during Julian days 233 through 235). Layback positions, which account for the linear distance between the shipboard RTK-GPS receiver and the towed catamaran vehicle, were calculated trigonometrically during post-processing (see processing step 3 in the metadata for CCB_SeismicTrackline.shp included in this publication). While the vehicle mounted GPS antenna was operational, positional accuracy is assumed to be ± 10 m. While the vehicle mounted GPS was not operational, positional accuracy is assumed to be ± 20 m; increased uncertainty arises because layback calculations do not account for fish motion behind the vessel, which is caused by sea state and vessel speed induced changes in the angle and scope of the tow cable. Field activities 07001 and 08002: The SB-424 towfish (07001) and Chirp 3200 transducers (08002) were mounted on a rigid pole, approximately 1 and 0.5 m, respectively, below the sea surface on the starboard side of the R/V Rafael. Position data were provided by a RTK-GPS navigation receiver located directly above the interferometric sonar head that was mounted from the bow of the R/V Rafael. Athough the horizontal offsets between the seismic-reflection sources and the RTK-GPS navigation receiver were not corrected in the sonar setup, this distance was less than 3 m, and the resulting positional accuracy during each field activity is assumed to be ± 10 m.

Miller of Port Jefferson, NY. Edgetech J-Star seismic acquisition software was used to control the Geo-Star topside unit, digitally log trace data in the EdgeTech JSF format, and record GPS navigation coordinates to the JSF trace headers. Data were acquired using a 0.27-s shot rate, a 9-ms pulse length, and a 0.5 to 6 kHz frequency sweep. Recorded trace lengths were approximately 266 ms. Northwest-southeast oriented tracklines were spaced between 100 and 200 m apart. Seismic-reflection data acquisition 07001: Chirp seismic data were collected using an EdgeTech Geo-Star FSSB sub-bottom profiling system and an SB-424 towfish (4-24 kHz), which was mounted on a rigid pole on the starboard side of the R/V Rafael of Woods Hole, MA. Edgetech J-Star and Triton Imaging Inc. SB-Logger seismic acquisition software was used to control the Geo-Star topside unit, digitally log trace data in EdgeTech JSF and SEG-Y Rev. 1 formats, respectively, and record GPS navigation coordinates to the JSF or SEG-Y trace headers. Data were acquired using a 0.25-s shot rate, a 10-ms pulse length, and a 4 to 16 kHz frequency sweep. Recorded trace lengths were approximately 250 ms. Northwest-southeast oriented tracklines were spaced between 75 and 100 m apart. Seismic-reflection data acquisition 07002: Chirp seismic data were collected using an EdgeTech Geo-Star FSSB sub-bottom profiling system and an SB-0512i towfish (0.5-12 kHz), which was mounted on a catamaran and towed astern of the R/V Megan T. Miller of Port Jefferson, NY. Edgetech J-Star seismic acquisition software was used to control the Geo-Star topside unit, digitally log trace data in the EdgeTech JSF format, and record GPS navigation coordinates to the JSF trace headers. Data were acquired using a 0.25-s shot rate, a 5-ms pulse length, and a 0.5 to 8 kHz frequency sweep. Recorded trace lengths were approximately 250 ms. Northwest-southeast oriented tracklines were spaced between 100 m and 1 km apart, while northwest-southeast oriented tracklines were spaced between 1 and 3.5 km apart. Seismic-reflection data acquisition 08002: Chirp seismic data were collected using a dual frequency (3.5 and 200 kHz) Knudsen Engineering Limited Chirp 3200 system with transducers mounted on a rigid pole on the starboard side of the R/V Rafael of Woods Hole, MA. Knudsen SounderSuite seismic acquisition software was used to control the Chirp 3200 system, digitally log trace data in the SEG-Y Rev. 1 format, and record GPS navigation coordinates to the SEG-Y trace headers. Data were acquired using a 0.25 or 0.5-s shot rate, a 1 or 2-ms pulse length, and a peak frequency of 3.5 kHz. Recorded trace lengths were approximately 67 and 135 ms. Northwest-southeast oriented tracklines were spaced between 60 and 150 m apart. Process_Step: Process_Description: A script was run that used SIOSEIS (version 2007.8) to predict and remove sea surface heave, and mute water column portions of SB-512i, SB-424, and Knudsen 3200 seismic traces by: 1)automatically picking the sea floor by identifying peak amplitudes within a vertical window; 2)smoothing sea floor picks using an along track filter approximating the period of sea surface heave (the filter window was set to use 46 traces); 3)creating a series of difference values between the raw and smoothed seafloor picks for each trace; 4)shifting traces up or down according to the difference values; and 5) muting each trace between time zero and the time of the smoothed sea floor pick, thus removing noise within the water column. Changes to the traces within each profile were saved to new "heave corrected" SEG-Y files, which were used for creation of JPEG browse images and digital interpretation.
