Description:
Abstract:
Cowthkg.tif is a 1000-m resolution grid of sediment thickness derived from contours (cowiso.shp, also in this data set) from 1:1,000,000-scale Map Showing Sediment Isopachs in the Deep-sea Basins of the Pacific Continental Margin, Strait of Juan de Fuca to Point Loma, California (Gardner and others, 1992, 1993a, 1993b). The maximum sediment thickness in this region is 2342 m with a mean value of 359 m.
Purpose:
These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.

These data are not to be used at scales greater than 1:500,000.

This information is not intended for navigational purposes.

Read and fully comprehend the metadata prior to data use. Uses of these data should not violate the spatial resolution of the data. Where these data are used in combination with other data of different resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lowest resolution of all the data.

Process_Description:

A 1000-m grid was constructed from the following inputs to ArcGIS TopoToRaster tool: (1) digital contours from construction of 1992-1993 sediment thickness maps (cowiso.shp, also in this data set), and (2) points with value 0 enclosed by outlines of "outcrop."

TopoToRaster interpolation produced negative thicknesses, which were recalculated to 0. Final grid was clipped to extent of source contours.
