Title:
Archive of Chirp Seismic Reflection Data Collected During USGS Cruises 00SCC02 and 00SCC04, Barataria Basin, Louisiana, May 12-31 and June 17 - July 2, 2000
Abstract:
This archive consists of two-dimensional marine seismic reflection profile data collected in the Barataria Basin of southern Louisiana. These data were acquired in May, June, and July of 2000 aboard the R/V G.K. Gilbert. Included here are data in a variety of formats including binary, American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML), shapefiles, and Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. Binary data are in Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y format and may be downloaded for further processing or display. Reference maps and GIF images of the profiles may be viewed with a web browser. The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) information provided here is compatible with Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) GIS software.
For more information on the seismic surveys see http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g100la/html/g-1-00-la.meta.html and http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/g/g500la/html/g-5-00-la.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.
Supplemental_Information:
The USGS Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies team in St. Petersburg, FL, assigns a unique identifier to all seismic data collected during each cruise or field activity. The method used to assign the identifier for the cruise or field activity is as follows: YYPRO##, where YY stands for the last 2 digits of the year in which the fieldwork is conducted; PRO is a 3-digit acronym for the project the data are collected for; and ## is a 2-digit event tag that represents a discreet leg or time period of fieldwork. Here, 00SCC02 tells us the data were collected in the year 2000 for the Subsidence and Coastal Change Project and that the data were collected during the second field activity for that project in that calendar year. In order to conform to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9660 naming standards, the SEG-Y data files and associated navigation files were all renamed. Each trackline's original "bss" prefix was shortened to a single "b." For example, trackline "bss00c_01a" was renamed "b00c_01a." Seismic reflection profiles are acquired by means of an acoustic source (usually generated electronically) and hydrophone or receiver arrays. Both elements are typically towed in the water behind a survey vessel. The sound source emits a short acoustic pulse 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) and detected at the receiver. This process is repeated at intervals ranging between 100 milliseconds (ms) and 1 second (s) depending on the seismic source employed. In this way, a two-dimensional vertical image of the geologic structure beneath the ship track is constructed. The chirp system uses a source signal of continuously varying frequency. The seismic source employed consisted of an EdgeTech X-Star SB424 tow fish running Triton Elics FSSB software. The tow fish was routinely flown 2-5 m above the seafloor. Therefore, water depths shown on the chirp profiles are relative to the depth of the tow fish and not to sea level. Note that the raising or lowering of the tow fish during a survey (to avoid obstacles or follow relief) also produces a relative shift in the multiple reflections seen in the profile, which may be confused as a geologic feature. Any elevation change of the tow fish is recorded in the crew logbook. The fish was towed about 10 m behind the GPS antenna, and no correction for this offset has been made. The sample frequency of the data was 25 kilohertz (kHz), with a shot rate of every 0.25 s and a record length that varied between 20 and 32 ms. Refer to the GIF profile images for the exact record length of each trackline. Based on survey speeds of 3.5 - 4 knots, the shot spacing was about 0.5 m. For each recorded shot, three channels of trace data were collected. Channel 3 is the "real," or in-phase component of the signal, channel 2 is the "imaginary," or quadrative component of the signal, and channel 1 is the "envelope," or product of channels 2 and 3. Only channel 1 was used to produce the profiles presented here. However, all channels are included in the SEG-Y data files. No SEG-Y data exists for lines b00c_02, b00c_52, b00c_68 - b00c_72, and b00c_121 - b00c_124a. The original tracklines b00c_38, b00c_41, b00c_48, and b00c_66 were divided into b00c_38a and b; b00c_41a, b, and c; b00c_48a and b; and b00c_66a and b because the original total number of traces exceeds the maximum allowed by the processing system. 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 SEG-Y file format includes a 3,200-byte descriptive header that contains detailed information regarding the data acquisition and processing parameters. All data presented here are stored in SEG-Y, integer, Motorola format. The SEG-Y data files are too large to fit on one Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), so they have been distributed onto four DVDs with the SEG-Y data files for lines b00c_01a - b00c_23 on Disc 1, lines b00c_24 - b00c_49 on Disc 2, lines b00c_50 - b00c_84 on Disc 3, and lines b00c_85 - b00c_120 on Disc 4. The SEG-Y formatted trace data files have a .TRA extension. Additional recording parameters for each seismic data file can also be found in the .PAR file associated with each .TRA file. However, the .PAR and .pln files are only needed to process or display the data with Triton Elics Delph Seismic software. Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation was provided to the acquisition system every second by a Trimble-Centurian P-Code receiver. The accuracy of this receiver is within 100 m. However, the data required some editing to remove spurious data values. The edited results were used to generate the trackline maps presented here. In addition, we have converted latitude and longitude to Zone 15 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. The navigation data have not been corrected to reflect the 10 m offset between the source and the GPS antenna. Position fixes for every 1,000 shots and for the starts of lines are also provided as an aid for registering of the data after plotting. All navigation files are stored as flat ASCII text files. The trackline maps provided in this archive are in geographic projection. They were created using ESRI GIS software ArcView 3.2, exported to Adobe Illustrator for further editing, and saved for the web in JPEG format. These JPEG images are viewable with a web browser. Included on each disc are the ESRI ArcView project and shapefiles used to create the trackline maps presented here. The project is compatible with ArcView 3.x (Unix, Windows) and ArcGIS 8.x (Windows). The shapefiles can also be viewed using public domain software ArcExplorer 2.0 (Windows) and 4.0 (Windows, Unix, Linux), which can currently be downloaded from the ESRI website at <http://www.esri.com/software/arcexplorer/index.html>. Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs are available in both HTML and Rich Text Format (RTF). Scanned GIF images of the original handwritten logbooks are also provided. Also included on each disc are example Seismic Unix (SU) scripts that allow the user to strip off navigation fixes from the SEG-Y headers, along with a fix for every 1,000 shots, and produce a gained GIF image of each profile. These images can then be displayed using a variety of shareware programs such as ImageMagick (Unix, Linux) or a web browser.

Why was the data set created?

Marine seismic reflection data are used to image and map sedimentary and structural features of the seafloor and subsurface. These data are useful in mapping stratigraphy and in assessing other submarine geologic characteristics and features. These data were collected as part of a Louisiana Sand Resources Study done in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the University of New Orleans, the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, and Eckerd College. This study is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Subsidence and Coastal Change (SCC) project.

How was the data set created?

  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
    Date: 2002 (process 1 of 6)
    Chirp processing: Raw SEG-Y data were processed with Seismic Unix to produce the GIF seismic profiles included in this report. A representative data processing sequence consisted of: 1) Stripped off channel 1 for each shot 2) Automatic gain control 3) Postscript display 4) Convert Postscript to GIF format
    Date: 2002 (process 2 of 6)
    Positional (navigation) data: As the seismic reflection data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by a GPS receiver. Positions were recorded approximately every second and written to the SEG-Y header. The ASCII navigation and the 1,000-shot interval navigation files were extracted from the SEG-Y headers using Seismic Unix scripts.
    Date: 2002 (process 3 of 6)
    Editing navigation: The ASCII navigation files were extracted from the SEG-Y headers and edited to remove spurious data points. The data were then processed using PROJ.4 freeware to convert latitude and longitude to Zone 15 UTM coordinates. The data was also reformatted for use with ESRI GIS software ArcView 3.2.
    Date: 2002 (process 4 of 6)
    Open-File preparation: No processing has been done to the SEG-Y data files provided on these DVDs. 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.

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?
    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. The original tracklines b00c_38, b00c_41, b00c_48, and b00c_66 were divided into b00c_38a and b; b00c_41a, b, and c; b00c_48a and b; and b00c_66a and b because the original total number of traces exceeds the maximum allowed by the processing system.
  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
    The positional accuracy was determined with a Trimble-Centurian P-Code receiver. The accuracy of this receiver is within 100 m. The GPS string was fed directly to the Delph Seismic acquisition system, and navigation fixes were recorded in latitude and longitude in the SEG-Y headers. The tow fish was towed about 10 m behind the GPS antenna, and no correction for this offset has been made.
  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
    Chirp data depth is relative to the depth of the tow fish.
  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
    These data are collected along tracklines (2D). Therefore, data are inherently incomplete. Geologic details between lines must be inferred. Trace length varies greatly (20 - 32 ms). Please refer to the GIF profile images for the exact length of the trace. No navigation was collected after shot number 447 for line b00c_28a or after shot number 3,915 for line b00c_28b. No digital data exists for tracklines b00c_02, b00c_52, b00c_68 - b00c_72, and b00c_121 - b00c_124a.
  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
    These data sets are from two cruises with consistent instrument calibrations.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
Access_Constraints: None. These data are held in the public domain.
Use_Constraints:
