Smooth sheets are available through the National Geophysics Data Center’s online data portal (NDGC, http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov). Purpose: 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.
