This resiliency is largely dependent on the availability of sand in the beach system. In an effort to better understand the system's sand budget and processes in which this system evolves, high-resolution geophysical mapping of the sea floor in Little Egg Inlet and along the southern end of Long Beach Island near Beach Haven, New Jersey was conducted from May 31 to June 10, 2018, followed by a sea floor sampling survey conducted from October 22 to 23, 2018, as part of a collaborative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey and Stockton University. Multibeam echo sounder bathymetry and backscatter data were collected along 741 kilometers of tracklines (approximately 200 square kilometers) of the coastal sea floor to regionally define its depth and morphology, as well as the type and distribution of sea-floor sediments. Six hundred ninety-two kilometers of seismic-reflection profile data were also collected to define the thickness and structure of sediment deposits in the inlet and offshore. These new data will help inform future management decisions that affect the natural and recreational resources of the area around and offshore of Little Egg Inlet. These mapping surveys provide high-quality data needed to build scientific knowledge of the evolution and behavior of the New Jersey barrier island system. Purpose: This dataset contains shotpoint and trackline navigation, profile images, and raw SEG-Y trace data for 692 km of EdgeTech 512i chirp seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during USGS field activity 2018-001-FA off southern Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Images of each seismic profile were generated in order to provide portable and easily viewable alternatives to the SEG-Y versions of the data. Each profile image can be hotlinked to its corresponding trackline navigation contained within the Esri polyline shapefile '2018-001-FA_SB512i_Tracklines.shp'. Shotpoint index and tick marks along the top of the PNG images correlate to the positions of 500 shot intervals within the Esri point shapefile '2018-001-FA_SB512i_Shot500.shp'. This information allows for spatial correlation of chirp seismic-reflection profiles images with other geophysical and sample data for investigating sea-floor morphology and stratigraphy in the area.

Browse_Graphic_File_Type: JPEG Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: Chirp seismic-reflection data were collected during the geophysical survey 2018-001-FA offshore of Long Beach Island, NJ. The shapefile '2018-001-FA_SB-512i_Shot500.shp' contains the first (1), last (x), and 500-interval shotpoints for each seismic trackline, and '2018-001-FA_SB-512i_shtnav.csv' contains all unique shot point navigation. The attribute fields 'LineName' and 'ImageName' for each polyline feature in '2018-001-FA_SB-512iTracklines.shp' correspond to the SEG-Y data files in '2018-001-FA_SB-512i_SegyData.zip' and the PNG profile images in "2018-001-FA_SB-512i_Images.zip", respectively. One SEG-Y file, and PNG image exists for each feature. Processed seismic data were converted to PNG format for ease of seismic trace display. Quality control was conducted during processing. Completeness_Report: Data were collected on the following dates: 20180531-20180610 (Julian day 151-161); no surveying was done on 20180603 (Julian day 154). Sections of tracklines where navigation was recorded but no seismic data were logged are not included such as during testing, some turns, and very short files. There is no Line-0068 or Line-0077 in this dataset. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The EdgeTech SB-512i sub-bottom profiler was mounted on a catamaran and towed astern of the R/V Petrel. Navigation data for the 512i were collected using a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) enabled Garmin GPS receiver, which was located on the catamaran sled and connected to the acquisition computer via a serial cable. Positioning data were recorded using SonarWiz 6 (version 6.05.001) acquisition software, which logged coordinates to individual trace headers in SEG-Y format. A conservative estimate of horizontal positional accuracy is within 2 m.

SonarWiz 6 (version 6.05.011) seismic acquisition software was used to control the Geo-Star FSSB topside unit, digitally log three trace data (envelope, real, and imaginary) in the SEG-Y Rev. 1 format (IEEE floating point), and record GPS navigation coordinates to the SEG-Y trace headers (in arc seconds of Latitude and Longitude, multiplied by a scalar of 100). Data were acquired using 250 ms shot rate, with a 5-ms pulse length and a 0.5 to 8 kHz or 0.7 to frequency sweep or a 20-ms pulse length and a 0.7 to 7 frequency sweep. Recorded trace lengths were approximately 200 ms. Process_Step: Process_Description: PROCESS STEP 1: SIOSEIS (version 2016.3.1) and python were used to process SEG-Y data and extract navigation data. The processing flows and scripts used are summarized below and in the following processing steps. 1) The SIOSEIS script sio_renum read the raw SEG-Y files, extracted the envelope-detected trace, renumbered shots starting from one, and wrote out new SEG-Y files. The original shot numbers, which were assigned by SonarWiz sequentially over the duration of an acquisition session despite SEG-Y file changes, are preserved in the raw SEG-Y data. 2) The SIOSEIS script sio_medianstk was used to minimize system cross talk by performing a two-trace median stack (trim 50 percent of the values furthest from the median amplitude) which improves water bottom picking. 3) The script read512i_s was used to read the swell filtered SEG-Y files, write a Seismic Unix file, and extract SEG-Y trace header information, including shot number, longitude, latitude, year, Julian day, and time of day (UTC). Header information from each SEG-Y file was saved to text files after an AWK (no version) filter was used to maintain the first and last shots, shots at multiples of 100, 500, and shots with unique navigation coordinates. Geographic coordinates (WGS 84) were converted to UTM zone 18 N coordinates (WGS 84) using Proj (version 4.6.0). End shots and shots at multiples of 100 may not have unique navigation coordinates. Separate text files containing the first and last shots and even 500 shot intervals were also saved. A 500 shot interval was chosen because it corresponds to the annotation interval provided along the top of the seismic-reflection profile images. 4) The SIOSEIS script siothresh_pltwbt (which runs the sio_threshwbt script) was used to predict water-bottom times from the envelope SEG-Y traces in each file and write the predicted two-way travel times for the seafloor to a '*.wbt.csv' file. This created new swell filtered SEG-Y files (which are included in the archive '2018-001-FA_SB512i_SegyData.zip'). Note: there is a known bug in the swell filtering algorithm that removes the last trace that was recorded in the median stack filtered SEG-Y and duplicates time and position of the third-to-last trace as the new last trace of the SEG-Y file. This affects less than a second of time at the end of each seismic profile but does not otherwise affect the rest of the sub-bottom data. 5) Seismic Unix (version 4.2) was used to read all the swell filtered SEG-Y files and plot the data as 8-bit gray-scale Postscript files using the Seismic Unix 'psimage' algorithm. The profiles contain 80 milliseconds of two-way travel time within a 14-inch vertical window, yielding approximately 5.7 milliseconds per inch. Postscript images were converted to PNG format using ImageMagick (version 6.9.9-40). The x-axis units of the images are shot number while the y-axis is two-way travel time in seconds (note: extremely short lines may not display a complete x-axis in these images). 6) The python script 512intoSQL18001_py2.py imports the navigation, shot, year, day, and UTC time data from CSV files into a SpatiaLite (version 4.3.0a) enabled SQLite (version 3.27.1) database, creating two tables containing point geometries. The first contained records for all of the input shots with unique navigation coordinates, and the second maintained records for the first and last shots, and shots at multiples of 500. End shots and shots at multiples of 500 may not have unique navigation coordinates. The resulting database columns for each table consist of East, North (UTM18N m), Lon, Lat (WGS84 dd), LineName, ImageName, Shot, Year, JD_UTC (DDD:HH:MM:SS), SurveyID, VehicleID, DeviceID. A third table was created to contain trackline geometries generated from the unique navigation point geometries for each line (sorted by LineName and Shot), and the line length in kilometers was calculated. The resulting database columns of the line geometry table consist of LineName, ImageName, Shot_init, Shot_end, Year, JDUTC_init, JDUTC_end, SurveyID, VehicleID, DeviceID, and Length_km. This process step was conducted between June 2018 and February 2020. This step and all subsequent process steps were conducted by the same person - Seth Ackerman.
