The sediments were collected with a modified Van Veen grab (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 04011, conducted May 25- June 4, 2004. Purpose: This data set was produced to ground-truth (verify) topography and backscatter intensity of the sea floor offshore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. These acoustic data were collected with a multibeam sea floor mapping system during USGS survey 98015, conducted November 9 - 25, 1998.

Coarse fraction determined by sieve; fine fraction determined by Coulter Counter. Visual descriptions were used for rocky/bouldery stations where samples could not be collected. The shapefile was created in Arc View from the ASCII comma-delimited files created by the laboratories software. See Poppe and Polloni (2000) for analytical specifics.

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 source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. Removed an invalid link in the distribution section. Minor fixes to the attribute format for some attributes were needed. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The semi-major axis and denominator of flattening ratio values indicated NAD27, but the datum and ellipsoid names referenced NAD83. Because the navigation was GPS, the semi-major axis and denominator of flattening ratio were set to NAD83 parameters. 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.
