The Breton Island Post Construction Monitoring project objective includes the investigation of nearshore geologic controls on surface morphology in addition to mapping the seafloor to evaluate coastal change. This publication (Forde and others, 2023) serves as an archive of high-resolution chirp subbottom trace data, survey trackline map, navigation files, geographic information system (GIS) data, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Processed subbottom profile images are also provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y revision 0 format (Barry and others, 1975). In addition to this data release, the SEG-Y files can be downloaded from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geoscience Data System (CMGDS) at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov. Purpose: The purpose of this data release is to archive digital chirp subbottom profile data and associated files collected during USGS Field Activity Number 2022-328-FA. Additional survey and data details are available from the USGS CMGDS at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2022-328-FA. Supplemental_Information: Chirp systems use a signal of continuously varying frequency; the system used during this survey produces high-resolution, shallow-penetration (typically less than 75-milliseconds [ms]) profile images of sub-seafloor stratigraphy. The towfish contains a transducer that transmits and receives acoustic energy and is typically towed 1–2 meters (m) below the sea's surface. As transmitted acoustic energy intersects density boundaries, such as the seafloor or sub-surface sediment layers, energy is reflected toward the transducer, received, and recorded by a PC-based seismic acquisition system. This process is repeated at regular intervals (for example, 0.125 seconds [s]) and returned energy is recorded for a specific duration (for example, 50 ms). In this way, a two-dimensional (2D) image of the shallow geologic structure beneath the towfish is produced.

Logical_Consistency_Report: These datasets are from one field activity with consistent instrument calibrations. Completeness_Report: A total of 46 seismic lines were collected during this field activity are included in this data release (Forde and others, 2023). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Location information associated with each seismic profile was determined by a SP90M global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver positioned aboard the R/V Sallenger, where pre-determined trackline locations were imported into HYPACK 2021 navigation software and followed during seismic data collection. During acquisition, positions from the SP90M GNSS receiver located on the R/V Sallenger were recorded and written to seismic trace headers in arcseconds every 0.20 s and were subsequently converted to latitude and longitude coordinates (World Geodetic System of 1984, WGS84). The approximately 3.4-m offset between the chirp shot position and ship's global positioning system (GPS) antenna reference point were not accounted for during acquisition, nor have the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) navigation files and trackline map been corrected to reflect the offset. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: These data are not to be used for bathymetry. Two-way travel times (TWT) shown on the printable profile images are relative to the chirp towfish position (below the sea surface), not to the sea surface. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Chirp acquisition - Subbottom data were acquired from the chirp towfish, which was towed by the 26-foot research vessel R/V Sallenger and positioned approximately 1 m below the water surface. The seismic source utilized during 2022-328-FA was an EdgeTech SB-424 running DISCOVER version 10 acquisition software and towed on the port side of the vessel, approximately 3.4 m behind the GNSSS reference point. 46 lines, equivalent to a total of 49.75 line-kilometers, were surveyed. The data were acquired at 5 hertz (Hz), which equates to a roughly 0.2 s sample interval, using a frequency sweep of 2-15 kilohertz (kHz), and recording length was 173.42 ms. Based on survey speeds of about 4 knots, the shot spacing is approximately 0.450 m. The binary portion of the seismic data provided in Forde and others (2023) is stored in SEG-Y rev. 0, IBM 32-bit float [big-endian byte order] format, which is a standard digital format that can be read and manipulated by most seismic processing software packages; the first 3,200 bytes of the file header are in ASCII format instead of Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (EBCDIC) format. The SEG-Y formatted trace files have a .sgy extension and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU) (Cohen and Stockwell, 2010). The printable profiles provided are chirp subbottom profile images that were processed using SU software. Survey Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, acquisition geometry, and geophysical operations log are also provided as supplemental information in the download file, 2022-328-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2023).

A representative chirp data processing sequence consisted of (1) removing raw [vessel] navigation data for each shot and converting the SEG-Y file to SU format, (2) applying automatic gain control, (3) trimming the trace data TWT to 30 ms (no observable features, aside from multiples, were encountered below that point in the profiles), (4) generating a PostScript image of the traces, and (5) converting the PostScript image to a GIF image.

Real-time positions from the SP90M were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers via a RS232 cable running from the SP90M receiver to the topside unit of the chirp system every 0.20 seconds. During subbottom processing, location data were extracted from the SEG-Y headers of the processed chirp profiles, using Seismic Unix (Cohen and Stockwell, 2010) software and output as ASCII text files; PROJ.5.1.0 (https://proj.org/) software was used to project WGS84 latitude and longitude coordinates to Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) northings and eastings (WGS84, Zone 16 North [N], meters). Navigation files for each subbottom line, saved by line number, were concatenated into comma-delimited text files so they could be represented geospatially using Esri ArcGIS software. The final output files are as follows: (1) 2022-328-FA_nav.csv contains unique shotpoint positions (along each line) for the entire survey, (2) 2022-328-FA_1000sht.csv includes the 1,000-shot-interval locations that were generated to correlate shot locations on the trackline map with evenly spaced 1,000-shot index markers along the top of the printable profile images, and (3) 2022-328-FA_sol.csv has the start-of-line locations for each trackline. The concatenated, comma-delimited text files were later imported into ArcMap and saved as either a point or polyline file (in Esri's shapefile format) for use in the map document (.mxd) included in this archive.

The survey navigation file, 2022-328-FA_nav.csv, was imported into ArcMap and processed using the ArcScript "Points to Line" to create a polyline shapefile of the cruise tracklines called 2022-328-FA_trkln.shp. The 1,000-shot-interval and start-of-line files, 2022-328-FA_1000sht.csv and 2022-328-FA_sol.csv, were imported into ArcMap and saved as point shapefiles. A non-proprietary version of the location map was created by utilizing the ArcToolbox "Map to KML" tool, which converted each layer included in the map document (.mxd) to keyhole markup language (.kml) format prior to them being compressed (zipped) and saved as a .kmz file. The ArcGIS and Google Earth geospatial files provided in this publication are unprojected (geographic coordinates, WGS84).
