Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 250.000000
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 250.000000
Planar coordinates are specified in meters
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.
Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

There are no attributes associated with a GEOTIFF image.
Primary navigational control for this survey was by Loran-C supplemented by satellite navigation. Accuracy of location of the navigation fixes is estimated to be better than 100 meters.
All available imagery were used to create this mosaic. Data were acquired during nine cruises using the 6.5 kHz GLORIA sidescan-sonar system and a 45 km total swath width.
