It is one of five files in this U.S. Geological Survey data release that include data from a set of sediment cores acquired from the continental slope, north of Monterey Canyon, offshore central California. Vibracores and push cores were collected with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute’s (MBARI’s) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Doc Ricketts in 2014 (USGS cruise ID 2014-615-FA). One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Info.xlsx) contains core name, location, and length. One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_MSCLdata.xlsx) contains Multi-Sensor Core Logger P-wave velocity and gamma-ray density whole-core logs of vibracores. One zipped folder of .bmp files (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Photos.zip) contains continuous core photographs of the archive half of each vibracore. One spreadsheet (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Radiocarbon.xlsx) contains radiocarbon sample information, results, and calibrated ages. One .pdf file (NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_Figures.pdf) contains combined displays of data for each core, including graphic diagram descriptive logs. This particular metadata file describes the information contained in the file NorthernFlankMontereyCanyonCores_MSCL.xlsx. All vibracores are archived by the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Other remaining core material, if available, is archived at MBARI. Purpose: The sediment cores and subsequent core data were collected to investigate the San Gregorio Fault Zone and continental slope sedimentation.

See cruise ID 2014-615-FA (http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-615-FA) for more information. The vibracores were multi-sensor core logged (MSCL) with a GEOTEK system at the U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center laboratory in Menlo Park, California. All whole vibracores were logged at 1-cm intervals for P-wave velocity and gamma-ray density. Calibration was conducted during logging using a standard of the same core liner. Data presented are calibrated. Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: Data and metadata files were moved to a different location on ScienceBase, resulting in a change of ID number in the Online_Linkage and Network_Resources URLs of the metadata. In addition, edits were made as needed to bring the metadata up to current PCMSC standards including correcting typos, adding disclaimers, and refining keywords. Point of Contact and Metadata Contact information sections were changed to static PCMSC contact information. No data were changed. Users are advised to compare the metadata date of this file to any similar file to ensure they are using the most recent version.

Depth in core is measured from the top of the core liner tube and presented in meters. Date and time of logging is given in day/month/year hour (24 hour):minute. Core thickness is measured for each 1-cm increment and given in centimeters. P-wave amplitude is a percentage between 0 and 100. Zero p-wave amplitude measurements are flagged as “*”. P-wave velocity is given in meters per second. Gamma-ray density is given in grams per cc. Acoustic impedance (Imp) is given in units *10^3/(kilograms*meters^3). Fractional porosity (FP) is a dimensionless term calculated from the gamma-ray density. Calibration (processing) parameters are presented for each core in the header information at the top of each tabbed sheet.
