Description:
Abstract:
From September 16 through 23, 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted geophysical surveys to investigate the geologic controls on barrier island evolution and sediment transport offshore of Dauphin Island, Alabama. Geophysical data were collected as part of the Alabama Barrier Island Restoration Feasibility Study. This shapefile represents a point dataset of field activity number (FAN) 2015-330-FA chirp subbottom profile start of trackline locations.
Purpose:
To aid in the registering of digital chirp subbottom profile data collected during USGS FAN 2015-330-FA.
Supplemental_Information:
Additional survey and data details are available from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-330-FA and in the Field Activity Collection System (FACS) and geophysical logs, which are included in the download file, 2015-330-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2022).

Data_Set_Credit:
Data collection and processing were performed by Jim Flocks, Stan Locker (former employee), and Arnell Forde of the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Environment as of Metadata Creation: Microsoft Windows 10 Version 6.2 (Build 9200); Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) ArcMap 10.7.1.11595; Seismic Unix (Release 44).
Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The validity or accuracy of marine subbottom profiles is highly qualitative and depends on equipment and operating condition variables.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This dataset is from one field activity with consistent instrument calibrations.
Completeness_Report:
A total of 118 seismic lines were collected during this field activity. Two test lines, 2015-330-FA.001 and 2015-330-FA.002, were collected in Mobile Bay on DOY 258. Lines 2015-330-FA, JD-260, and JD-264.003 were partial lines containing no usable data and line JD-264.010 was corrupted during acquisition; consequently, all of the preceding lines were excluded from this data release.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
As the subbottom profile data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by an Applanix POS MV Wavemaster II inertial aided navigation system (IANS), which is accurate to within 0.5-2 meters (m). Positions from the POS MV were recorded and written to seismic trace headers every second (s). The approximately 19-m offset between the chirp and GPS antenna has not been accounted for in the comma-delimited American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) navigation files and trackline map.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Navigation files were extracted from the seismic trace headers using Seismic Unix release 44 software, processed with PROJ.5.1.0 software to generate Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates from latitude and longitude coordinates (World Geodetic System of 1984, WGS84), and then saved as ASCII text files in comma-separated values (CSV) format. A custom script was created to produce unique navigation fixes for each line and for all instances where the shot was equal to 1, that data point was output into a new text file. All the shotpoints described in the previous step were concatenated in the CSV file, 2015-330-FA_sol.csv, which represents the start of each trackline collected during the survey.

Process_Description:
The reformatted, text files were imported into Esri ArcMap 10.7 software to produce a geographic representation of the shotpoint data collected within the survey area. ArcMap was used to create a point shapefile (.shp) containing start of line locations for all chirp tracklines.
