These data represent trackline navigation data seismic-reflection systems utilized during
U.S. Geological Survey geophysical research cruises.
Beginning in 1995, the USGS, in cooperation with the U.S
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), New York District,
began a program to generate reconnaissance maps of the
sea floor offshore of the New York-New Jersey
metropolitan area, one of the most populated coastal
regions of the United States. The goal of this mapping
program is to provide a regional synthesis of the sea-floor
environment, including a description of sedimentary
environments, sediment texture, seafloor morphology,
and geologic history to aid in understanding the impacts of
anthropogenic activities, such as ocean dumping. This
mapping effort differs from previous studies of this area by
obtaining digital, sidescan sonar images that cover 100
percent of the sea floor.
This investigation was motivated by the need to develop
an environmentally acceptable solution for the disposal of
dredged material from the New York- New Jersey Port, by
the need to identify potential sources of sand for
nourishment of the southern shore of Long island, and by
the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the
transport and long-term fate of contaminants by
investigations of the present distribution of
materials discharged into the New York Bight over the last
100+ years (Schwab and others, 1997).

These navigation data have been stripped from the header of seismic SEG-Y data.
They have been quality checked by comparing these data to navigation data
acquired during cruise operations.
Complete
DGPS is assumed to be accurate within 1-2 meters. Standard GPS is assumed accurate within 5-10 meters. 99% of the
positional data is DGPS. Unless noted, all GPS/DGPS data is referenced to WGS84 (NAD83). Slant-range distance is
recorded between the sidescan-sonar tow vehicle and a sidemount rigged with an acoustic transponder during
acquisition of CHIRP sub-bottom data. Offset between thesidemount and GPS antennae is measured. Basic trigonomic
calculations use the slant-range offset to calculate a 'fish'(tow-vehicle) navigation. An assumption in these
calculations is that the tow-vehicle is traveling directly behind the vessel; movement to port or starboard is
not accounted for within 'fish' navigation. Thus, the horizontal accuarcy of the CHIRP tow-vehicle is +/- 15 meters.
The horizontal positioning for boomer, sparker, and water gun seismic systems
did not account for source and receiver offsets and offset the GPS antennae and the source and streamer. It is
estimated that these offsets could lead to inaccuracies of about 30 m.

This publication contains the raw SEG-Y CHIRP seismic-reflection data
stored on DVD-ROM. The navigation used to generate the CHIRP trackline
data were stripped from the raw SEG-Y header.
The seismic shot navigation is received by the differential
GPS system (DGPS), sent directly to the seismic acquisition
system, and recorded in the SEG-Y header of each file.
The navigation is later extracted from the header, and
formatted into a comma-delimited ArcView Ungenerate text
format. The file is then imported into ArcView, and a vector line
shapefile is generated. The line numbers for each trackline are
stored in an ASCII file listing unique track ID and line number.
This file is imported into ArcView 3.2 as a table. The file is then
joined to the line shapefile by the unique track ID. The table for the
trackline file is the editted, a new field created, the line number
information written to this new field, the join removed, and the file
saved. This permantely saves the line number with the corresponding
trackline.

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). Completely changed the title based on an author (Jane Denny) supplied title. Added online links to the publication and data page in the Identification section. Added the standard order section to the Distribution Information, which included providing a link to download the data. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
