Navigation points are spaced at 1-minute intervals and at course changes or line events (start/end of line). Continuous navigation is not available. The logbook navigation for two points in the survey was determined to be incorrect and has been excluded from the data set (line 11b time 1945 and line 14 time 815).

Used the Make Route Event Layer tool in the Linear Referencing toolbox to create an event feature using the following parameters: Input route features: a75_6lines_CreateRoutes_Cali.shp; Route identifier field: Line_temp; Input event table: a75_6minutenav_LocateFeature.dbf, Route identifier field: Line, Measure: timeval. Then the feature was converted to a shapefile by exporting the data (right click on feature, Data, Export Data) as a shapefile.

Process_Description:
Added 'Time' attribute to a75_6_1minnav.shp. Quality checked and edited data points in attribute table of ArcMap 9.2 such that each line starts and ends with the same end points as the SEG-Y files. Added points from a75_6nav.shp (1657 in line 31a, 621 in line 9a_2) and points from 10-second navigation files (created using the same steps outlined in this file to obtain more precise end points for lines 1 and 2 (1507.167) and 8b_2 (1617.5)). Used VACExtras v. 2.04 Table Sort tool to sort primarily by Line and secondarily by timeval.

Process_Description:
Added attribute fields LineSeg, Shot, LineID, X , Y, and Date_ using the field calculator to calculate conversions in ArcGIS9.2. The following equation was used to determine the shot number, using a fire rate of 0.5 seconds as specified in the cruise report: (([timeval] - [first shot's minute value]) *120) +1. Eastings and northings (attributes X and Y) were added using the Add X, Y, Z Coordinates tool in XToolsPro 5.3 using UTM Zone 19, WGS84 projection.

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.). 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.
