A suite of geophysical data and cores were collected during a cooperative study by the U.S. Geological Survey, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center, and the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve to refine the geology of the bay floor as well as the bay's Holocene stratigraphy. Sidescan-sonar imagery, bathymetry, high-resolution seismic profiles, and cores show that oyster reefs occupy the crests of sandy shoals that range from 1 to 7 kilometers in length, while most of the remainder of the bay floor is covered by mud. The sandy shoals are the surficial expression of broader sand deposits associated with deltas that advanced southward into the bay between 6,400 and 4,400 years before present. The seismic and core data indicate that the extent of oyster reefs was greatest between 2,400 and 1,200 years before present and has decreased since then due to the continued input of mud to the bay by the Apalachicola River. The association of oyster reefs with the middle to late Holocene sandy delta deposits indicates that the present distribution of oyster beds is controlled in part by the geologic evolution of the estuary.

Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Although the "seistime" attribute is extracted from the header of the seismic data files, it's clear there were some problems with the information recorded in the header. Periodically the time sequence is out of order. For instance, times (in the format hhmmss) on consecutive shots read 161047, 161048, 161018, 161050. Obviously, the 161018 is chronologically out of order. These problems were not fixed in the attribute table. Logical_Consistency_Report: No duplicate features are present. Inconsistencies exist in the filenaming convention for individual seismic data collection lines. Because the filenames reflect the original data file names acquired in the field, they were left alone. Completeness_Report: No data were acquired on the following dates: 6/8/2006, 6/10/2006 6/12/2006, 6/13/2006, 6/15/2006, 6/16/2006, 6/17/2006, 6/18/2006, 6/19/2006, 6/20/2006. These dates correspond to Julian days 159, 161, 163, 164, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, and 171 respectively. In addition, lines for which no valid seismic data were available, or extremely short lines, were deleted. Some lines acquired seismic data, but little or no navigation. These lines are also excluded. One line was re-run, so the original problematic line was excluded. The list of collected seismic lines excluded from this and subsequent datasets is as follows: Julian day 155 - apalachicola000 (rerun), apalachicola020 (too short), apalachicola027 (insufficient navigation). Julian day 160 - day160001 (insufficient navigation). Julian day 165 - day165001 (too short). Julian day 172 - JD172010 (too short), JD172014 (too short), JD172025 (too short). Julian day 173 - JD173009 (too short). Julian day 174 - JD174010 (too short). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: IRIS was navigated with a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS, with the GPS antenna mounted directly over the seismic transducer. This system can provide positions to within 0.1 meters. However, due to some errors with the acquisition software, this accuracy is reduced. The accuracy is approximately 2 m given the constraints of the acquisition system.

This system is designed to operate in shallow water (1-5 meters). IRIS is a catamaran platform 3 meters in length, 1.2 meters in width, and approximately 118 kilograms. The vehicle is operated remotely through a wireless modem network enabling real-time monitoring of data acquisition. The system is navigated using a ZXW RTK augmented GPS system enclosed on a platform in the middle of the catamaran. An enclosed onboard micro-processor-based motor controller provides signals for speed and steering to hull-mounted brushless direct-current thrusters. A center-mounted keel encloses the chirp dual-frequency (100/400 kHz model 4200 EdgeTech) sidescan-sonar transducers and EdgeTech 424 chirp seismic-reflection hydrophones. Mounted in the port hull are the EdgeTech 424 chirp seismic-reflection transducer and a single-beam 235 kHz echosounder. A Sony IP based wireless video camera is installed on the mast of IRIS for the purpose of obstacle avoidance. An onboard Fluxgate magnetometer provides heading, heave, pitch, and roll. IRIS is powered by 2-4 24-volt NiMH batteries located in each hull and has an approximate run-time of five hours at 4 knots. Process_Step: Process_Description: The seismic data were acquired with an EdgeTech SB-424 sub-bottom profiler and recorded in JSF format using JSTAR, EdgeTech's acquisition software. The research effort within Apalachicola Bay represented the first use of IRIS in full survey mode. As such, the system needed to be 'rung-out' during the first several days of surveying. A file naming convention developed over the first few days of surveying and acquisition settings (hardware and software) were modified several times until standardized settings could be established for Apalachicola Bay. Initial trouble-shooting dealt with several issues including a variation in the field in which navigation was stored within the JSF header and in the resolution of the navigation (seconds of arc vs. minutes of arc). Correcting these issues required re-running particular files though EdgeTech's DISCOVER software and saving new JSF files. Files that were saved through DISCOVER are signified by a 'yes' in the 'discover' field within the shapefile. A 'no' within the 'discover' field indicates that the JSF file was correct in its original format; re-running through DISCOVER was not required. The JSF files were then converted to SEG-Y format using jsf2segy, a C-program written by Tom O'Brien at the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey.

These values were written to a comma-delimited text file. In addition to extracting the navigation, the csh script was used to generate JPEG images of each seismic profile. Due to modifications to acquisition parameters during the initial days of surveying, the format in which navigation was stored in the SEG-Y headers varies: navigation is stored in either decimal arc seconds (0.01) or decimal arc minutes (0.0001). In order to properly extract and convert navigation to latitude/longitude divisors of 360000 and 600000 were used for decimal arc seconds and decimal arc minutes, respectively. Prior to JD172, the acquisition system did not consistently record longitude as a negative value (western hemisphere). Thus, either 600000 or -600000 was used to convert arc minutes to longitude based on whether the acquisition software recorded negative or positive longitude values. The divisors necessary for proper navigation extraction are contained in the attribute field "divisors" and are in the format "longitude divisor/ latitude divisor". This process step and all subsequent process steps were performed by the same person - VeeAnn A. Cross.

This file was edited to remove invalid positions (usually latitude and longitude values of 0). In addition, calendar year and Julian day values were edited as necessary in order to reflect appropriate values. Finally, a header was added to the navigation text file in order to describe each column of data.

This attribute will be used as the unique line name when loading the data into Landmark SeisWorks software. Seismic lines containing circles or turns were broken into multiple segments and assigned an unique line name by appending an "a" or "b" etc. to the line name. Landmark can load a portion of a SEG-Y file by loading the line segment that corresponds to the shot point navigation. (i.e. Splitting a SEGY file into segments is unnecessary, only the navigation needs to be split). During the initial days of surveying, the seismic acquisition system simultaneously recorded multiple files per survey line, creating some data redundancies. These overlapping portions of the survey line do not have a value entered in the "lmarkname" attribute Process_Date: 2007 Process_Contact: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: VeeAnn A.

This reflects the prefix of the filename associated with the seismic-reflection profile JPEG image associated with the line. These names are not unique, as file names were repeated on different survey days. Process_Date: 2008 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 source information was incomplete and had to be modified to meet the standard. 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.

Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The platform used to collect the original seismic data was the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center's Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) IRIS (Independently (or) Remotely Influenced Surveyor). Details of the platform can be found on the following web page: http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/operations/sfmapping/iris.htm.
