This report serves as an archive of unprocessed digital boomer seismic reflection data, trackline maps, navigation files, GIS files, Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, observers' logbooks, and formal FGDC metadata. Filtered and gained digital images of the seismic profiles are also provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y format (Barry and others, 1975) and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU). Example SU processing scripts and USGS software for viewing the SEG-Y files (Zihlman, 1992) are also provided. For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j395fl/html/j-3-95-fl.meta.html and http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j296fl/html/j-2-96-fl.meta.html These data are also available via GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org/) and Virtual Ocean ( http://www.virtualocean.org/) earth science exploration and visualization applications. Purpose: The data archived here were collected as part of the USGS Lakes and Coastal Aquifers (LCA) Project. The main objectives were: 1) to determine if a geologic model of the Peace River could be constructed from geophysical data collected in a shallow riverine environment, and 2) to extend those findings to a study of the hydraulic connection between the Peace River basin and the underlying aquifer systems. For further information about this study refer to Lewelling and others (1998). Supplemental_Information: The USGS Florida Integrated Science Center (FISC) - St. Petersburg assigns a unique identifier to each cruise or field activity. For example, 95LCA03 tells us the data were collected in 1995 for the Lakes and Coastal Aquifers (LCA) Project and the data were collected during the third field activity for that project in that calendar year. Refer to http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/definition/activity.html for a detailed description of the method used to assign the field activity ID. The boomer plate is an acoustic energy source that consists of capacitors charged to a high voltage and discharged through a transducer in the water. The transducer is towed on a sled at the sea surface and when discharged emits a short acoustic pulse, or shot, that propagates through the water and sediment column. The acoustic energy is reflected at density boundaries (such as the seafloor or sediment layers beneath the seafloor), detected by a receiver, and recorded by a PC-based seismic acquisition system. This process is repeated at timed intervals (e.g., 0.5 s) and recorded for specific intervals of time (e.g., 100 ms). In this way, a two-dimensional vertical image of the shallow geologic structure beneath the ship track is produced. For both field activities, an ORE GeoPulse power supply provided 105 joules per shot. Reflected energy was received by an Innovative Transducers, Inc. (ITI) ST-5 streamer and recorded by Delph acquisition software. The streamer contains ten hydrophones evenly spaced over a length of 6 m (every 2 feet). Acquisition geometry and phones used varied throughout the field activites. Refer to figure 1 and the operations logbooks included with this archive (Data Series 217) for more detail. The sample frequency of the data is 12 kHz. Record length is 100 ms for 95LCA03 and 125 ms for 96LCA02. The shot rate for both field activities was every 0.5 s, and shot spacing is approximately every 2 m. The unprocessed seismic data are stored in SEG-Y, integer, Motorola format, which is a standard digital format that can be read and manipulated by most seismic processing software packages (Barry and others, 1975). The SEG-Y formatted trace files have a .TRA extension. Additional recording parameters for each trace file can also be found in the .PAR file associated with each .TRA file. However, the .PAR and .PLN files included here are only needed to process or display the data with Delph Seismic software. Also provided are example Seismic Unix scripts that allow the user to strip off navigation fixes from the SEG-Y headers, along with a fix for every 500 shots, and produce a filtered and gained GIF image of each profile. The printable profiles provided here are GIF images that were filtered and gained using Seismic Unix software. The processed SEG-Y data were then exported to Chesapeake Technology, Inc. (CTI) SonarWeb software to produce an interactive version of the profile that allows the user to obtain a geographic location and depth from the profile for a curser position.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPEG Data_Set_Credit: Funding and/or support for this study were provided by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program and Water Resources Division and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. We thank Erik L. Staub of the USGS in Tampa, Florida, for his assistance in data collection. This document was improved by the reviews of Mark Hansen (USGS) and Julie C. Bernier (ETI Professionals, Inc., contracted by the USGS) at the FISC - St. Petersburg, Florida. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The validity or accuracy of marine seismic reflection profiles is highly qualitative and depends on equipment and operating condition variables. Visual inspection of the images rendered from the data did not show any major anomalies. Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are from two different field activities. Differences occur in navigation, acquisition equipment, and acquisition geometry between vessels and field activities. Horizontal accuracy varies with navigation equipment used, and signal-to-noise ratio of the data changes with hydrophone streamers used. However, for most purposes, the profile data are comparable for all systems used. Acquisition geometry and phones used varied throughout the field activites. Refer to figure 1 and the operations logbooks included with this archive (Data Series 217) for more detail. Completeness_Report: These data are collected along tracklines (2-D) and are therefore inherently incomplete. Geologic details between lines must be inferred. Only the upper 100 ms of a total 125 ms are displayed on the 95LCA03 printable profiles because little useful information was observed deeper in the sections. Several lines are missing navigation for the start and/or end of line. The navigation fix interval for 95LCA03 was about every 60 s, or about every 120 shots. Lines PRSB_5 and PRSB_6 are missing navigation for the first 120 shots or more. Line PRSB_2 is missing navigation for about the last 120 shots. The fix interval for 96LCA02 was about every 30 s, or about every 60 shots. Lines PR296_C, PR296_D, and PR296_G are missing navigation for the first 60 shots or more. On the trackline maps, a cross marks the location of the first available navigation fix for lines missing navigation at the start of line. Navigation is also intermittent for several 96LCA02 lines. On the trackline maps, the location of missing navigation data within a line is inferred by linear interpolation of the first and last known data points. A SonarWeb line navigation map is not available for 95LCA03 line PRSB_2 due to a lack of accurate navigation for that line. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: As the seismic reflection data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by a Rockwell Collins PLGR GPS receiver, which is accurate within 3-5 m. Positions were recorded and written to the trace headers in latitude and longitude about every 60 s for 95LCA03 and about every 30-60 s for 96LCA02. The navigation files and trackline maps have not been corrected to reflect the offset between the shotpoint and GPS antenna. Figure 1 included with this archive (Data Series 217) displays acquisition geometry. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Boomer data are relative to sea level. However, varying recorded static shifts of the data have been known to occur. Therefore, these data are not to be used for bathymetry. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Boomer processing: Delph Seismic software was used to convert the original trace files for all lines from nonstandard ELICS format to standard SEG-Y format. The trace files for 95LCA03 line PRSB_11A and 96LCA02 lines PR296_B and PR296_E were divided into two or more trace files each (e.g., PRSB_11A became PRSB_11Aa and PRSB_11Ab) because the original total number of traces exceeded the maximum allowed by the processing software. The SEG-Y data were then processed with Seismic Unix to produce GIF images of the seismic profiles included in this report. A representative processing sequence consisted of: 1) Bandpass filter: 300-500-2500-3000 Hz, 2) Automatic gain control, 3) Postscript display, and 4) Conversion of Postscript image to GIF image. The processed SEG-Y data were then exported to CTI SonarWeb software to produce an interactive version of each profile that allows the user to obtain a geographic location and depth from the profile for a cursor position. Refer to the Supplemental Information section above for details on how to use the interactive profiles. Process_Date: 2005 Process_Step: Process_Description: Navigation processing: Shotpoint navigation files and 500-shot-interval location files were extracted from the trace headers of each line using Seismic Unix software and edited to remove spurious data points and fix incorrectly recorded dates. These files were then processed with PROJ.4 software (http://www.remotesensing.org/proj) to generate Zone 17 UTMs from latitude and longitude and reformatted for use with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) GIS software. Process_Date: 2005 Process_Step: Process_Description: Trackline map creation: The trackline maps provided in this archive were created with ESRI ArcGIS 9.0 software, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved in JPEG format. The maps are in geographic coordinates (unprojected, NAD83). The cities, roads, and counties layers are Southwest Florida Water Management District data sets. The USGS is the originator of all other layers. The Points to Lines ArcScript, downloadable at http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=12702, was used to create the trackline layers. A map of trackline navigation for each seismic profile was also produced with CTI SonarWeb software. Process_Date: 2005 Process_Step: Process_Description: Data Series preparation: In addition to the process steps described above, the following steps were taken to produce this archive: the handwritten logbooks were scanned and saved as PDF files, digital FACS logs were created using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the crew members and saved as PDF files, and an HTML-based format was used to present the various parts of this archive.
