Coastal resource managers here and elsewhere are concerned about nutrients that are entering coastal waters via submarine groundwater discharge, which are contributing to eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. CRP is used to measure electrical resistivity of sediments, a property that is sensitive to differences in salinity of submarine ground water. The 2004 and 2006 surveys used floating resistivity streamers of 100 m and 50 m respectively. The depth penetration of the streamers is approximately 20% of the streamer length which translates to approximately 20-25 m with the 100 m streamer and 12-14 m with the 50 m streamer. These data were processed using AGI's EarthImager 2D software. Purpose: To provide raw resistivity data as collected by the AGI SuperSting system.

Completeness_Report: Only those lines with valid resistivity data collected on this day are represented here. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: These data were acquired with an AGI SuperSting Marine system that is described at the website: www.agiusa.com/marinesystem.shtml. The particular system used for this acquisition was an 11 stainless steel electrode array with electrodes spaced 10 meters apart. A dipole-dipole configuration was used for the data collection in which two fixed current electrodes are assigned with the measurement of voltage potentials between electrode pairs in the remaining electrodes. Each line of data acquisition records several files. The two files necessary for processing are the *.stg and *.gps file. The STG file contains the resistivity data, while the GPS file contains the navigation information. Bathymetry point data was collected with a separate system and logged as text files. Process_Date: 2004 Process_Step: Process_Description: The data were transferred from the logging computer via AGISSAdmin software. The data files available for this day are ccns1*, ccns2*, ccns3*, ccns4*, ccns5*, ccns6*, ccns7*, ccns8*, ccns9*, ccns10*, ccns11*, ccns12*, ccns15*, ccns16*, and ccns17*.

The logging of the navigation files started at the same time as the logging of the resistivity files. Although the bathymetry data contains no time stamps, the assumption was made that the time span was the same as the navigation file. The bathymetry data was acquired in feet at a faster rate than the navigation data. An awk script was written to convert the bathymetry data to meters, pull the appropriate bathymetry point to match up with the navigation point, and output the format as SDDBT (the format that EarthImager expects). The points to pull was based on the assumption that the time span of navigation and bathymetry was the same, so took the total number of bathymetry points and divided it by the number of navigational fixes, and pulled the bathymetry point at that increment. Another awk script was written to merge the navigation data and bathymetry data into a single file.

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.). Added online link to the data in the distribution section. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. Moved the minimal source information provided to make it the first process step. The distribution format name was modified in an attempt to be more consistent with other metadata files of the same data format. 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.
