Description:
Abstract:
On August 5, 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted geophysical surveys to investigate the geologic controls on barrier island evolution and sediment transport offshore of Breton Island, Louisiana (LA). Geophysical data were collected as part of the Breton Island Post Construction Monitoring project. This shapefile represents a point dataset of field activity number (FAN) 2022-328-FA chirp subbottom profile start of trackline locations.
Purpose:
To aid in the registering of digital chirp subbottom profile data collected during USGS FAN 2022-328-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=2022-328-FA and in the Field Activity Collection System (FACS) and geophysical logs, which are included in the download file, 2022-328-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2023).

Data_Set_Credit:
Data collection and processing were performed by Jim Flocks, Andy Farmer, 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 10.8.2.
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 46 seismic lines were collected during this field activity and are included in this data release (Forde and others, 2023).
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Subbottom data were collected from the port side of the R/V Sallenger, which was outfitted with a Spectra Precision SP90M global navigation satellite system antenna (GNSS) receiver (to collect position information). As the subbottom profile data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by the SP90M GNSS receiver. Positions from the SP90M were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers every 0.20 seconds. The approximately 3-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, 2022-328-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 10.8.2 software to produce a geographic representation of the shotpoint data collected within the survey area. ArcMap was used to create a point shapefile containing start of line locations for all chirp tracklines.
