Description:
Abstract:
These data were collected under a cooperative agreement between the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (CZM) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC). 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 seafloor 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 coastal Massachusetts, primarily in water depths of 2-30 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>). The data collected in this study area are located in both Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound and are primarily in the shallow water areas around the eastern Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The data include high resolution bathymetry, acoustic-backscatter intensity, sound velocity in water, seismic-reflection profiles, and navigation data. These data were collected during several cruises between 2007 and 2011 onboard the R/V Rafael using the following equipment: an SEA Ltd SwathPlus interferometric sonar (234 kHz), Klein 3000 dual frequency sidescan sonar, a boomer source and Geometrics 8-channel GeoEel streamer, a Knudsen 3200 subbottom profiling system, and 4 GPS antennae. More information about the cruises conducted as part of the project: Geologic Mapping of the Seafloor Offshore of Massachusetts can be found on the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center Field Activity webpages: <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2011-013-FA> <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2009-068-FA> <http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2007-039-FA><http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-100-FA><http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/ia/public_ds_info.php?fa=2010-047-FA>
Purpose:
This dataset contains shot point navigation at even 500 shot intervals for approximately 940 km of Knudsen 3202 chirp seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during Woods Hole Science Center cruise 2011-013-FA offshore of the Elizabeth Islands and Martha's Vineyard. This information can help spatially correlate the seismic-reflection profiles with other data in the GIS.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation data were acquired with a Communications Systems International (CSI), Inc. LGBX Pro receiver. Navigation data were sent to the Knudsen SounderSuite acquisition application, which logged the coordinates to individual trace headers in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Y (SEG-Y) Revision 1 format (Norris and Faichney, 2002). A 2 m horizontal offset between the seismic transducers and the DGPS receiver was not accounted for during data acquisition, and resulting positional accuracy is assumed to be better than 10 m.

Survey 2011-013-FA was conducted 20110802 to 20110831. Data were not collected on 20110807, 20110812-20110815, 20110821, and 20110825-20110829 due to weather.

Source_Contribution:
Chirp seismic data were collected using a dual frequency (3.5 and 200 kHz) Knudsen Engineering Limited (KEL) Chirp 3202 system (Knudsen Engineering Limited, 2009) 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 3202 system, digitally log trace data in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Y (SEG-Y) Revision 1 format (Norris and Faichney), and record DGPS navigation coordinates to the SEG-Y trace headers in arc seconds. The transducer draft was 0.5 m below the water surface, and the draft offset was accounted for during data acquisition. Navigation coordinates and water depths from the 200-kHz channel were logged together in ASCII formatted files for each survey line. Data were acquired at a peak frequency of 3.5 - 5.0 kiloHertz, a 0.25 or 0.2 second fire rate (4 or 5 shots per second), a 36-38 microsecond sample interval, and record lengths between 26 and 130 milliseconds. Unique shot point locations are provided in the zip-compressed package for the Knudsen trackline shapefile.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A C-shell script was executed that called on Seismic Unix (version 4.1) to read the SEG-Y files, write a Seismic Unix file, and extract SEG-Y trace header information, including shot number, longitude, latitude, year, Julian day, and time of day (UTC) to ASCII text files for each survey line. Files were filtered using AWK (no version) to save records for the first and last shots, and shots at unique longitude/latitude positions in between. The VIM (version 7.2.108) text editor was then used to create a new field in each navigation and trace header text file that combined Julian day and UTC time. Finally, using the newly created field as the 'join' field, the Unix JOIN (no version) command was used to merge coordinates from the navigation text file with corresponding shot records in each trace header file based on this Julian day time field. Geographic coordinates (WGS 84) were converted to UTM zone 19 coordinates (WGS 84) using Proj (version 4.6.0), and added to the text files in two new columns.

Process_Description:
An additional AWK filter was applied to each file created in the previous step to extract trace header records containing the first and last shots, and shots evenly divisible by 500 for each survey line. A 500 shot interval was chosen because it corresponds to the annotation interval provided along the top of the seismic-reflection profile PNG images
