Description:

Abstract:

During 1980, a seismic-reflection survey utilizing Uniboom seismics was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in western Rhode Island Sound aboard the Research Vessel Neecho. This cruise consisted of 2 legs totalling 8 survey days. Data from this survey were recorded in analog form and archived at the USGS. As a result of recent interest in the geology of Rhode Island Sound and in an effort to make the data more readily accessible while preserving the original paper records, the seismic data from this cruise were scanned and converted to TIFF images and SEG-Y data files. Navigation data were converted from LORAN-C time delays to latitudes and longitudes, which are available in ESRI shapefile format and as eastings and northings in space-delimited text format.

Purpose:

This GIS layer contains the 1-minute shotpoint navigation for seismic data collected aboard the R/V Neecho during a 1980 geophysical cruise in western Rhode Island Sound. It is part of a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of sub-bottom seismic profiles collected in Rhode Island Sound. The seismic data collected along these ship tracks provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Attribute data were recorded by the science party and entered and checked by the compilers in a consistent manner.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The layers were edited and processed in a consistent manner.
Completeness_Report:

Complete information is provided for all navigation lines in the data set. Navigation points are spaced at 1-minute intervals and at course changes or line events (start/end of line). Continuous navigation is not available.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

All navigation was done by LORAN-C and was manually recorded. The cruise used the Group Repetition Interval 9960 Northeast U.S. chain and recorded time delays from Caribou, Maine (W) and Carolina Beach, N.C. (Y) slave transmitters. Absolute accuracy is 185 to 463 m based on a link no longer available from http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/. The original link referred to the loran/handbook/h-book.htm (see Chapter III). A possible new link with similar information is available from: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/pdf/loran/handbook/loran-c_users_handbook_entire.pdf.

Process_Description:

The text file was transferred to a LINUX computer and converted from DOS to Unix using Dos2Unix command. An AWK script was used to reformat the text file as right justified fields with space delimiters in the order Unique Line ID, shot number, easting, and northing, in order to generate a format ready to import into the seismic interpretation package, LandMark Graphics, Seisworks. The easting and northing values are rounded to the nearest meter.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.32 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 date format in the time period of content was fixed. An online link was added 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.
