Description:

Abstract:

This image is an enlarged, detailed area from the Gulf of Mexico GLORIA sidescan sonar mosaic. The image was co-registered with SeaMARC 1A sidescan sonar data collected during R/V FARNELLA 90-3 cruise.

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:

Two images of the 25 m GLORIA sidescan sonar data are available for the study area. They are identical with the exception that one image has been radiometrically enhanced for better viewing.

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:

A new, blank georeferenced database was created utilizing the PCI Remote Sensing software. This 'pix' file was defined using the maximum extents of the two required, adjacent 50m GLORIA mosaics. The GLORIA images original projection (Albers Equal Area), resolution, and datum (Clarke 1866) were used to define the new 'pix' file.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Utilizing the PCI Remote Sensing software, a corresponding subarea of the GLORIA data was extracted and added to the existing utme00.pix file. This process extracted a selected area of the GLORIA data that fell within the defined SeaMARC1A Mississippi Fan study area. Coincident to the sub-area being extracted, the image was re-projected to UTM. The final, geo-referenced image was added to the utme00.pix database where the completed SeaMARC1A mosaic had been placed.

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.
