These data were acquired in November and December of 2001 and in January and February of 2002 using a 4.9 m (16 ft) jonboat. The data are available in a variety of formats, including ASCII,HTML, and GIF images. Reference maps and GIF images of the profiles may be viewed with your WWW browser. For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/b/b101fl/html/b-1-01-fl.meta.html , http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/b/b201fl/html/b-2-01-fl.meta.html , http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/b/b102fl/html/b-1-02-fl.meta.html , and http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/b/b202fl/html/b-2-02-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: Marine seismic reflection data is used to image and map sedimentary and structural features of the seafloor and subsurface. These data are useful in mapping the extent of the subsurface structure, sediment thickness, and depths to various stratigraphic horizons, as well as in assessing other submarine geologic characteristics and features. These data were collected as part of a larger aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project done in cooperation with the South Florida Water Management District. Supplemental_Information: Seismic reflection profiles are acquired by means of an acoustic source (usually generated electronically) and a hydrophone or hydrophone array. Both elements are typically towed in the water behind a survey vessel. The sound source emits a short acoustic pulse, which propagates through the water and sediment columns. The acoustic energy is reflected at density boundaries (such as the seafloor or sediment layers beneath the seafloor) and detected at the hydrophone. This process is repeated at intervals ranging between 100 ms and 1s depending on the source type. In this way, a two-dimensional image of the geologic structure beneath the ship track is constructed. Seismic data were stored in SEG-Y format, which is a standard digital format that can be read and manipulated by most seismic-processing software packages. The data presented in this appendix are the processed profiles only. These data are stored in GIF-formatted image files. For Field Activity 01ASR01, the seismic source employed consisted of a boomer transducer towed on a sled at the sea surface providing 100 joules per shot. The reflected energy was received by an SN Technologies NexGen solid core streamer and recorded by PC-based Triton-Elics Delph Seismic acquisition software. The streamer contains 10 hydrophones evenly spaced every 2 meters. Only data received by elements 7 and 8 were summed for line 01b01 and for line 01b02 through shot number 2,819. Afterward, only data received by elements 8 and 9 were summed. The streamer was positioned parallel to the boomer sled and laterally separated from it by approximately 3 m. The sled was towed approximately 5 m behind the GPS antenna. The sample frequency of the data was 12 KHz and the total record length was 100 ms. The fire rate was every 0.5 s, which resulted in a shot spacing of about 0.64 m. For Field Activity 01ASR02, the seismic source employed consisted of a boomer transducer towed on a sled at the sea surface providing 280 joules per shot. The reflected energy was received by an SN Technologies NexGen solid core streamer and recorded by PC-based Triton-Elics Delph Seismic acquisition software. The streamer contains 10 hydrophones evenly spaced every 2 meters. Only data received by elements 8 and 9 where summed for line 01b01 through shot number 8,903. Afterward, data received by element 10 was also summed. The streamer was positioned parallel to the boomer sled and laterally separated from it by approximately 3 m. The sled was towed approximately 5 m behind the GPS antenna. The sample frequency of the data was 24 KHz and the total record length was 100 ms. The fire rate was every 0.5 s, which resulted in a shot spacing of about 0.64 m. For Field Activity 02ASR01, the seismic source employed consisted of a boomer transducer towed on a sled at the sea surface providing 280 joules per shot. The reflected energy was received by an SN Technologies NexGen solid core streamer and recorded by PC-based Triton-Elics Delph Seismic acquisition software. The streamer contains 10 hydrophones evenly spaced every 2 meters. Only data received by elements 8, 9, and 10 were summed for line 02b01 and for line 02b02 through shot number 1,748. Only data received by elements 5, 6, and 7 were summed for line 02b02 between shot numbers 1,750 and 2,828. For the rest of line 02b02 and for all other lines, only data received by elements 4, 5, and 6 were summed. The streamer was positioned parallel to the boomer sled and laterally separated from it by approximately 3 m. The sled was towed approximately 5 m behind the GPS antenna. The sample frequency of the data was 12 KHz for line 02b01 and 24 KHz for all other lines. The total record length was 100 ms. The fire rate was every 0.5 s, which resulted in a shot spacing that ranges from about 0.46 m to 0.64 m. For Field Activity 02ASR02, the seismic source employed consisted of a boomer transducer towed on a sled at the sea surface providing 280 joules per shot. The reflected energy was received by an Innovative Transducer, Inc. (ITI) solid core streamer and recorded by PC-based Triton-Elics Delph Seismic acquisition software. The streamer contains 10 hydrophones evenly spaced about every 0.6 m (2 ft). However, only data received by elements 3 and 4 were summed. The streamer was positioned parallel to the boomer sled and laterally separated from it by approximately 3.5 m. The sled was towed approximately 5.5 m behind the GPS antenna through shot number 8,230 of line 02b01, and approximately 7.5 m behind the antenna for the rest of the line. The sample frequency of the data was 24 KHz and the total record length was 100 ms. The fire rate was every 0.5 s, which resulted in a shot spacing that ranges from about 0.46 m to 0.64 m. Differential GPS navigation was fed to the acquisition system every second by a WAAS/Beacon DGPS receiver. The accuracy of this receiver is to within 5 m. However, the data required some editing. These edited results were used to generate the trackline maps presented here. However, the navigation data has not been corrected to reflect the offset between the source and the GPS antenna. Position fixes for every 500 shots and for the start of line are also provided as an aide for registering of the data after plotting. The trackline maps provided in this appendix are in geographic projection. They were created using ESRI's GIS software ArcView 3.2, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved as GIF images. These GIF images are viewable with your WWW browser. All navigation files are stored as flat ASCII text files.

Native_Data_Set_Environment: SEG-Y 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 showed that some of the profiles contain an interference pattern of unknown origin. Logical_Consistency_Report: These data sets are from four field activites with consistent instrument calibrations. Completeness_Report: These data are collected along tracklines (2D). Therefore, data are inherently incomplete. Geologic details between lines must be inferred. All tracklines were recorded to 100 ms. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The position accuracy was determined with a WAAS/Beacon DGPS receiver. The accuracy of this receiver is within 5 m. The DGPS data was fed to a navigation computer running HYPAK software which converted the data to UTMs. The UTM string was then fed to the Delph Seismic Acquisition software and recorded in the SEG-Y headers for each trace. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Water level was regulated so that it was 1.524 m (5 ft) above sea level at the time of data acquisition. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: Boomer processingRaw SEG-Y data was processed with Seismic Unix software to produce the GIF formatted seismic profiles included in this report.A representative data processing sequence consisted of:1)Bandpass filter: 300-500-2500-3000 Hz2)Automatic gain control3)Postscript display4)Convert Postscripts to GIF format Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: Positional (navigation) dataAs the seismic reflection data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined with the DGPS. Positions were recorded approximately every second and written to the SEG-Y header. The ASCII 500-shot interval navigation files were extracted from the SEG-Y headers using Seismic Unix scripts. Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: Editing navigationThe ASCII navigation files were extracted from the SEG-Y headers and edited to remove spurious data points. The data was then processed using PROJ.4 freeware to convert the UTMs to latitude and longitude. The data was also reformatted for use with ESRI's GIS software ArcView 3.2. Process_Date: 2002 Process_Step: Process_Description: Appendix preparationNo SEG-Y data files are provided on this CD-ROM. The data were displayed as 8-bit gray scale Postscript files using the Seismic Unix 'psimage' algorithm. The Postscript images were then converted to GIF images with ImageMagick.
