Langseth. The data have been reduced for position, elevation, orientation, water-column sound-speed, and refraction effects. In June 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey - Coastal and Marine Geology Program conducted a research cruise in the Gulf of Alaska aboard the R/V Marcus G. Langseth (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University) as part of the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Project. The mission focused primarily on obtaining geophysical data (multichannel and CHIRP seismic reflection, ocean bottom seismometry, multibeam bathymetry, sonobuoy, XBT and XCTD) for the purposes of determining geologic framework, crustal nature, and sediment thickness in support of delineating the U.S. Extended Continental Shelf under provisions contained in Article 76 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Caress Dale N. Chayes 2006 https://www3.mbari.org/data/mbsystem/html/mbsystem_home.html Kongsberg-Simrad EM122 Multibeam Echosounder was used with transmit (fore-aft) and receive (athwart ships) beam widths of 1 degree, with swaths of 3-4 times water depth in water depths between 50 and 6000 m. Depth accuracies not determined, however Kongsberg-Simrad state that the system is capable of depth accuracies approaching 0.2 percent of water depth. No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted Raw EM122 Multibeam Echosounder data collected during OBS operations were not used in the generation of this gridded dataset because OBS instruments were deployed along transects coincident with previously surveyed ship track. Upon inspection in CARIS during post-processing it was deemed appropriate to exclude the redundant data from the gridding process. Horizontal positioning of the vessel was determined using a Kongsberg Seapath 300 series integrated inertial motion and positioning system. Positioning is accurate to better than 5 meters (at 95 percent confidence) during all surveying. All positioning is referenced to the WGS84 Datum. No attempt was made to determine the accuracy of the system although recorded depths are typically within +/-10 m of the center-beam multibeam sounding. Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were collected using a 12 kHz Kongsberg Simrad EM-122 multibeam echosounder and SIS (v3.8.2) acquisition software. The system consists of two hull-mounted transducer arrays, a transmit unit (150 deg. x 1 deg.) located along the ship centerline, and a receive unit (1 deg. x 30 deg.) that is abaft and oriented athwart-ships. The transducer pod is tilted 4 degrees towards the bow to reduce noise from cavitation and bubbles. The system forms a swath of 288 beams that produce an across-track profile of 432 soundings. The SIS software processes range/angle data from each ping during acquisition, merging position, inertial-motion, and sound-velocity data to derive a solution for vessel motion and raybending, and calculate sounding depths and positions. Sound velocity information entered into SIS was obtained from the Applied Micro Systems Micro SV mounted on the transducer pod and 52 XBT profiles. XBT profiles were extended to 12 km depth with data generated by the unix program 'mblevitus', a module of the multibeam processing package MB-System (Caress and Chayes, 2006). Average water column salinity of 34.4 ppt was determined by extrapolating data from XCDT casts. Multibeam data were collected nearly continuously throughout the cruise, effectively mapping the seafloor along the course of the ship's track. Beam angle was set at 70 on each side throughout the program and swath widths were generally between 3 and 4 times water depth. SIS logged bathymetry and backscatter solutions to the Simrad '.all' format for archival purposes. 201106 CARIS processing for MGL1109: A new CARIS HIPS project (ver. 7.1) was created with projection information set to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 6N, WGS84. Each Simrad EM122 data file (*.all) was imported to the new CARIS project using the Import/Conversion Wizard. A 100 meter resolution Bathymetric and Statistical Error (BASE) Surface was created and new files were added to the surface each Julian day. With the addition of new files, the BASE surface was reviewed for any inconsistencies or data anomalies. Navigation was edited as needed using the navigation editor tool in CARIS. Filters were applied to each line including beam to beam slopes and across track angle. The CARIS "surface filter" was applied to the data using the two standard deviation option. Swath data were also edited manually to remove obviously outlying soundings. 201205 U.S. Geological Survey Wayne Baldwin Geologist mailing and physical address

Woods Hole MA 02543-1598 USA 508-457-2226 wbaldwin@usgs.gov The 100 meter CARIS HIPS BASE surface for MGL1109 was exported from CARIS as a Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) file. The resulting BAG file was used to import the surface into IVS3D DMagic as gridded data, then the surface was saved as a Fledermaus Digital Terrain Model in the IVS3D SD format. Finally, the Fledermaus ArcGIS module was used to export the surface directly to an ESRI Binary Grid. 201205 U.S. Geological Survey Wayne Baldwin Geologist mailing and physical address
