Geophysical data were collected as part of the Coastal Sediment Availability and Flux project. This shapefile represents a point dataset of field activity number (FAN) 2022-309-FA chirp subbottom profile start of trackline locations. Purpose: To aid in the registering of digital chirp subbottom profile data collected during USGS FAN 2022-309-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=2022-309-FA and in the Field Activity Collection System (FACS) and geophysical logs, which are included in the download file, 2022-309-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2023).

Native_Data_Set_Environment: Environment as of Metadata Creation: Microsoft Windows 10 Version 6.2 (Build 9200); Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) ArcGIS 10.8.2. 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 54 seismic lines were collected during this field activity. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Both subbottom and bathymetry data were collected aboard a towed seismic sled, which was outfitted with a Spectra Precision SP90M global navigation satellite system antenna (GNSS) receiver (to collect position information) and a single-beam echosounder. Differential positioning was obtained through post-processing the base station (established on National Geodetic Survey benchmark Permanent Identifier JU0450) data to the rover located on the sled. As the subbottom profile data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by an SP90M GNSS receiver. Positions from the SP90M were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers every 0.20 seconds. The approximately 18-meter 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. Lineage: 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, 2022-309-FA_sol.csv, which represents the start of each trackline collected during the survey.

ArcMap was used to create a point shapefile containing start of line locations for all chirp tracklines.

The naming convention used for each subbottom line is as follows: x_env_bp, where 'x' is a 7-digit number indicating a specific trackline (for example, 002_1741) and 'env_bp' denotes that the seismic traces were output as an envelope and a bandpass filter was applied. A transit line (029_2041_transit_env_bp) had its file name manually entered and therefore did not follow the aforementioned convention.
