      <abstract>This CD-ROM contains copies of the navigation and field sidescan sonar data collected during USGS Cruise 96005, conducted during 1 -14 June, 1996.  The cruise was a collaborative field program between researchers at Coastal Carolina University and the USGS, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Field Center. The CD-ROM was produced in accordance with the ISO 9660 standard.  An area 3 to 15 meters was surveyed using an 100 kHz sidescan-sonar system and tracklines are spaced so that data coverages overlap and can be assembled into arial mosaics. HTML files enable access using www browsers.</abstract>

        <procdesc>The metadata from the Open-File report was edited to remove errors as well as update some information. Edits include updating the citation section with the OFR information, fixed the time period of content to cruise dates, added supplemental information with link to the field activity page on CMGDS, added the USGS Thesaurus and ISO 19115 Topic Category thesaurus, added keywords section with USGS persistent identifier as theme keyword, removed browse graphic section – since there isn’t one included in the report (information was pointing users to an obsolete system), removed empty source information in the lineage section, filled out the blank field for the NAD83 horizontal coordinate system, used a generic email address in metadata, updated digital transfer information, replaced distribution liability with FSP statement, replaced the first process step of “unknown” with cruise information. Other blank fields were deleted. The metadata date (19981116), but not the contact (except email) was updated. Those edits were performed 20210816. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata available from the publication. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. Modified the originator from: United States Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal and Marine Geology Program Woods Hole Field Center (WHFC) 384 Woods Hole Road Woods Hole, MA 02543-1598 to U.S. Geological Survey. Also modified the metadata contact organization to the same value (20210930).</procdesc>
