Data Quality Problems: Poor sea-state conditions periodically created problems with acquisition of the chirp seismic data during the ?????? cruise. In most instances, heave removal processing (described in processing steps 2-4) greatly minimized the effects of sea state in the final trace data. However, the effects of particularly larger swells do remain within some of the final profiles. In the interest of preserving as much potentially interesting seafloor information as possible, we decided not to lengthen seafloor smoothing filters to the widths that would have been required to remove larger swells. We suggest viewing the PNG image of line 10i172_stk.png to illustrate heave artifacts that remain after the processing. While sea floor heave has been subdued, some of the predictable undulation of seafloor and subsurface reflections persist. In light of these problems, we caution the interpretation of seafloor features that appear to be at the same scale of heave artifacts within profiles that are obviously affected by problematic sea states.
