The lake basin is a relatively simple half graben, a spoon-shaped depression tilted toward the main fault on the east side of the lake. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with researchers from several universities, has been studying the sediments of Bear Lake since 1996. The general purpose of this effort is to reconstruct past limnological conditions and regional climate on a range of timescales, from hundreds of years to hundreds of thousands of years. This research relates to a variety of human concerns, including water usage in the Bear River basin. Past work has included several coring operations, a seismic-reflection survey, sediment-trap deployments, a barge-mounted drilling operation with the GLAD800 drill rig, and a variety of other studies. The objectives of the September, 2002 operations, preliminarily reported here, were (1) to compile a detailed bathymetric map of the lake using swath-mapping techniques, in order to provide baseline data for a variety of applications and studies, and (2) to complete a sidescan-sonar survey of the lake, providing a nearly complete acoustic image of the lake floor. Limited amounts of subbottom acoustic-reflection data (chirp) were also collected, along with samples of lake-floor sediments representative of different kinds of backscatter patterns. These surveys followed an earlier subbottom acoustic-reflection survey (1997), using boomer and 3.5 kHz systems (S. M. Colman, unpublished data). Purpose: These data represent sidescan-sonar trackline navigation data during geophysical survey in Bear Lake, Utah-Idaho.

They have been quality checked by comparing these data to navigation data acquired during cruise operations. Completeness_Report: Complete Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) Navigation was used to acquire navigation information. WAAS is considered to have a horizontal accuracy of < 3 meters. The WAAS data were recorded in the header of the sidescan-sonar raw data. The sidescan-sonar tow-vehicle was towed close to the surface at a static height, adjacent to the vessel. WAAS locations were assumed for the sidescan-sonar tow-vehicle. The sidescan-soanr tow-vehicle was assumed to be navigated to an accuracy of +/- 5 meters. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: The sidescan-sonar navigation is received by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) GPS network, sent directly to the sidescan-sonar acquisition system from the Coastal Oceanographics, Inc. Hypack navigation system, and recorded in the QMIPS 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. Process_Date: 2003 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Jane F.

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.). The link to the data in the Distribution_Information section had to be added. Other distribution information had to be added to meet the standard. Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes were 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.
