Deck 41 is an original data file created by the Marine Geology and Geophysics Group of NGDC from 1970-1975, abstracted from unpublished material contributed to NGDC by multiple groups of individuals. No updates of Deck 41 have been added since 1975. The data that comprise this portion of Deck 41 were generated by R.L. Wigley during 1965 aboard ALBATROSS IV cruises 65-2, 65-13, and 65-14. Purpose: The purpose of this data layer is to provide a part of the Deck 41 data file in a form that could be used to interpret surficial sediment distributions off the northeastern United States.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Scanned images of the original raw data sheets were downloaded from the NGDC Seafloor Surficial Sediment (Deck 41) Data File. Lithologic descriptions, grain-size data, and sample identifiers were manually entered into Microsoft Excel and saved as an ASCII text file. The ASCII file was imported to an ArcView table. The table was later converted to an event theme in ArcView and saved as the final shapefile.

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.). Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes was needed. 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.
