Description:
Abstract:
This table lists the NOS smooth sheets included in the associated shapefile (GulfofAlaskaDigitizationProject_NOSSeafloorCharacter.zip; N = 329, plus insets), the number of samples for each smooth sheet, the year of collection (1892 to 2001), and the smooth sheet scale (from 1:2,000 to 1:600,000). Smooth sheets are available through the National Geophysics Data Center’s online data portal (NDGC,
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov).
This comma-separated value (.csv) table, is a derivative table of the information in shapefile GulfofAlaskaDigitizationProject_NOSSeafloorCharacter.zip, included in USGS data release "Gulf of Alaska Digitization Project; Digital seafloor character data from NOS smooth sheets" (
https://doi.org/10.5066/F7CV4FT9). These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in ArcGIS format, this metadata file may include some ArcGIS-specific terminology.

Funding for this effort was through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service. Thanks to the efforts of Jennifer Reynolds, additional funding was provided by University of Alaska, Fairbanks. The authors also acknowledge Kalei Shotwell and Chris Rooper (both NOAA) for funding USGS to complete the project. The authors recognize the work of Megan Prescott (NOAA) and Paul Waiters, Sara Kaiser, and Blake McBride (all University of California, Santa Cruz) who assisted with the digitization and proofing process.
