Description:
Abstract:
This GIS overlay is a component of the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Science Center's, Gulf of Mexico 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.
Purpose:
Shapefile of tracklines for Gloria cruises Farn82-7, Farn85-1, Farn85-2, and Farn85-3. The tracklines were extracted from OFR96-707 navigation. The total number of kilometers of single-channel analog seismic reflection data collected on these four cruises was approximately 30,851 km.

Process_Description:
The ASCII navigation files for the four GLORIA cruises in the Gulf of Mexico (FRNL82-7, FRNL85-1, FRNL85-2, FRNL85-3) were copied from OFR 96-707. These data were converted to point shapefiles for each of the four data sets. An Avenue script "navpnts2line.ave" written by VeeAnn Cross was used to convert the point files into lines. The four shapefiles were then joined into a single shapefile.2005

Process_Description:
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.). The link to the data in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. The link to the data in the Distribution_Information section had to be fixed. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The link to the larger work citation had to be fixed. Added an online link to the cross-reference. 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.
