      <abstract>This data release presents reprocessed multichannel seismic-reflection (MCS) data that was originally collected in 1996 in partnership with the California Division of Mines and Geology and Caltrans as part of a seismic hazard assessment of the Coronado Bridge in San Diego Bay, California. The original survey collected 130 km of data with a 14-cubic inch sleeve-gun (airgun) source, a 24-channel streamer, and 3.125 m shot spacing. Reprocessed profiles show increased data resolution, with data recorded to 750 ms two-way-travel-time, and interpretable data down to about 400 m.</abstract>
      <purpose>Data were reprocessed as part of an effort to investigate faulting in south San Diego Bay. Data were used to characterize fault structure, changes in sub-surface stratigraphy, and investigate recency of faulting. Reprocessing scheme included applying a linear moveout, f-k filter, velocity analysis, normal moveout, water bottom mute, stacking, and time migration. These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.</purpose>

    <posacc>
      <horizpa>
        <horizpar>The original survey lines and navigation from 1996 were stored on magnetic tape files that were destroyed in a warehouse fire. The reprocessed profiles in this dataset therefore did not include navigation data in the SEG-Y header. To overcome this, the original trackline map was georeferenced and individual profiles digitized. The total length of these profiles was divided by the 3.125 m gather spacing to produce the profile navigation. As a result of the georeferencing and uncertainty in profile locations on the original figure, the final locations of some profiles may carry a location error of ~10-100 m. Despite this uncertainty, a comparison of previously mapped features in San Diego Bay shows good agreement in the reprocessed MCS lines presented in this dataset.</horizpar>

        <procdesc>The original survey collected 130 km of MCS lines with a 14-cubic inch sleeve-gun (airgun) source, 24-channel streamer, and 3.125 m shot spacing. The original MCS data were stored as 12-fold common-depth-point gathers with 3.125 m bin spacing. Following transcribing of profiles to modern digital format, the originals SEG-Y files were reprocessed through the Shearwater Reveal software package. The original 24-trace shot gathers were sampled at 250 ms with a total length of 0.75 s.  Linear moveout and f-k filters were applied to shot gathers to reduce linear coherent noise and energy from refracted arrivals at longer offsets, which were especially prevalent in shallow San Diego Bay and in portions of the bay proximal to large cement structures such as Naval docks. Next, shot gathers were sorted into common-mid-point (CMP) gathers using a 3.125-m bin spacing (12-fold). Velocity analysis was performed every 100 CMPs by maximizing semblance for supergathers constructed using 15 CMPs, and the resulting velocity models were used to apply normal moveout corrections (NMO). Following NMO corrections, water-bottom and stretch-mutes were applied, and the traces were stacked. Lastly, Stolt migration was applied to stacked sections using a constant velocity of 1600 m/s. Navigation is presented in UTM zone 11N in header bytes 73/77 and in 81/85.</procdesc>
