This dataset contains 1-minute navigation points, tracklines, and profile images for approximately 2200 km of Simrad EK60 split-beam echo sounder data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during USGS field activities 2017-001-FA and 2017-002-FA (also referred to as HRS1704 and HRS1713, respectively) along the U.S. Atlantic continental shelf break and upper continental slope between Baltimore and Keller Canyons. Images of the water column profile data were generated in order to provide portable and easily viewable alternatives to the Simrad .raw versions of the data. Each profile image can be hot linked to its corresponding trackline navigation contained within the Esri polyline shapefile '2017-001-FA_2017-002-FA_EK60Tracklines.shp'. The 5-minute index annotations along the bottom of the PNG images correlate to the positions of associated times in the 1-minute navigation Esri point shapefile '2017-001-FA_2017-002-FA_EK60NavPoints_1min.shp'. This information allows for spatial correlation of the split-beam echo sounder profile images with other geophysical and sample data for investigating water column backscatter in relation to seafloor morphology and stratigraphy in the area.
