The purpose of this study was to conduct a geologic assessment (including bathymetric mapping) near Fort Hase Beach, Oahu, in support of efforts to construct an artificial coral reef offshore of Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH). This publication 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 1 format (Norris and others, 2002). 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 2023-310-FA. Additional survey and data details are available from the USGS CMGDS at, https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2023-310-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. No seismic reflection data were collected on DOY 128 (May 8, 2023) or 129 (May 9, 2023). Subbottom profiles that have less than 1000 shots recorded to their trace headers will not have a corresponding 1000-shot-interval shot file in 2023-310-FA_1000sht.csv, which is included in 2023-310-FA_nav.zip (Forde and others, 2023). Completeness_Report: A total of 84 seismic lines were collected during this field activity. Three lines were excluded from this data release (Forde and others 2023), due to equipment or acquisition issues, resulting in unusable data. More detail on acquisition conditions is available from the Excel spreadsheet 2023-310-FA_MBES_CHIRP_OPS_LOG.xlsx contained in 2023-310-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2023). Please note, this log includes information about all data acquired during this field activity and is not limited to the data included in this seismic 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) integrated into the Norbit Winghead MBES, which is accurate to within 0.5-2 meters (m). To ensure consistent spacing between survey lines acquired aboard the R/V Alyce C, pre-determined trackline locations were imported into HYPACK 2021 navigation software and followed during seismic data collection. During acquisition, positions from the POS MV IANS were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers in arcseconds every 0.2 s and were subsequently converted to decimal degrees latitude and longitude coordinates (World Geodetic System of 1984, WGS84, realization G1150). The approximate 3-m offset between the chirp shot position and the vessel's IANS reference point of the Applanix system, the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), 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 or navigation. 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 one survey platform, an Edgetech 424 Portable Subbottom Profiler, which was towed on the port side of the 26-foot research vessel, the R/V Alyce C. 84 lines, equivalent to a total of 110.16 line-kilometers, were surveyed. The seismic source utilized during 2023-310-FA consisted of an EdgeTech 424 towfish running DISCOVER version 4.09 acquisition software and towed on the port side of the vessel, approximately 3 m across-track from the IANS reference point. The data were acquired in J-STAR standard format (JSF) and SEG-Y at 5 hertz (Hz), which equates to 0.20 pings per second. The frequency sweep was 4-20 kilohertz (kHz), pulse lengths ranged between 5 ms and 10 ms, and recording length was approximately 53.2 ms. Based on survey speeds of 3.5-4.5 knots, the shot spacing was roughly 0.450 m. During acquisition, positions from the POS MV IANS were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers in arcseconds every 0.2 s. The binary portion of the seismic data provided in this publication (Forde and others, 2023) is stored in SEG-Y rev. 1, 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 envelope 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 in .gif format) are chirp subbottom profile images that were processed using SU software. Survey Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, geophysical logs, and acquisition geometry figure are also provided as supplemental information in the download file, 2023-310-FA_logs.zip (Forde and others, 2023).

Enveloped SEG-Y trace data were processed with custom scripts and SU Release 44 (Cohen and Stockwell, 2010) software to produce gained Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images of the subbottom profiles included in 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. The subbottom profile images have tic marks every 200 shots, with labels, larger tic marks, and dashed grid lines every 1000 shots. Not all lines have 1000 shots or more, see the logical consistency report for additional details.

Real-time positions from the Applanix system were recorded and written to the seismic trace headers via a RS232 cable running from the Norbit topside unit to the topside unit of the chirp system every 0.20 seconds, with unique navigation fixes being recorded every second. During subbottom processing, location data were extracted from the SEG-Y headers of the processed chirp profiles, using bespoke scripts and 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 4 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) 2023-310-FA_nav.csv contains unique shotpoint positions (along each line) for the entire survey – roughly every 5 shots, (2) 2023-310-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) 2023-310-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 (Forde and others, 2023).

The survey navigation file, 2023-310-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 2023-310-FA_trkln.shp. The 1,000-shot-interval and start-of-line files, 2023-310-FA_1000sht.csv and 2023-310-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.
