Description:

Abstract:

This image is a 250m version of the composite Gulf of Mexico GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic.

Purpose:

This GIS overlay is a component of the U. S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Field Center's, Gulf of Mexico ArcView GIS database. The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata.

Supplemental_Information:

The images, compos.jpg and compos.tif, have a black background surrounding the sidescan sonar mosaic. The images, composw.jpg and composw.tif, have a white background surrounding the sidescan sonar mosaic. For some display purposes, these images may be more suitable than images with a black background described above. The Gulf of Mexico GLORIA sidescan sonar data were collected during 3 separate field cruise 19820202 - 19820224 19850807 - 19850903 19850905 - 19850929

Raw imagery of GLORIA data may be retrieved from this CD-ROM. The user must note the number of pixels (samples) and lines contained in the data set to convert the raw imagery to a useable image format. The information can be found in the 'lbl' file associated with the image file.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The 16 individual 50m GLORIA GEOTIFF images for the Gulf of Mexico were re-sampled to 250m and combined to create an overview digital mosaic of the Gulf of Mexico. Utilizing the PCI Remote Sensing software, an empty 'pix' file was defined. This file included the maximum extents of the GLORIA Gulf of Mexico survey area at a 250 m resolution. The images original projection (Albers Equal Area) and datum (Clarke 1866) was used to define the new image file. Utilizing the georeferencing information contained in the GEOTIFF images, the individual 50 m mosaic were placed in their proper geographic location in the new image via GCPworks. A bilinear resampling was applied to the image pixels to create the sub-sampled GLORIA mosaic.

Process_Description:

Edited the metadata to remove errors flagged by MP. Filled out the citation information including adding the edition, suggested citation, adding the DOI link and a link to the data page. Added USGS Thesaurus and ISO 19115 Topic Category theme keywords. Added the link to the browse graphic. Removed unrequired elements with a value of "unknown". Indicated in some required elements that information was unavailable from the original metadata. Added links to the source citations. Additional small edits to the metadata were made to be consistent with current standards. Updated the distribution liability to an approved FSP disclaimer statement. Updated the distribution section to provide links to the data. The metadata date was updated, but not the metadata contact. The metadata contact email was updated to a valid link with an explanation in the contact instructions (20230822). 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.
