A U.S. Geological Survey cruise was conducted in the summer of 2014 to map the inner continental shelf of the Delmarva Peninsula using geophysical and sampling techniques to define the geologic framework that governs coastal system evolution at storm-event and longer timescales. Data collected during the 2014 cruise include swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, chirp and boomer seismic-reflection profiles, acoustic Doppler current profiler, and sample and bottom photograph data. Processed data in raster and vector format are released here for the swath bathymetry, sidescan sonar, and seismic-reflection profiles. More information about the USGS survey conducted as part of the Hurricane Sandy Response-- Geologic Framework and Coastal Vulnerability Study can be found at the project website or on the WHCMSC Field Activity Web pages: https://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/project-pages/delmarva/ and https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-002-FA Purpose: This dataset contains reflection point navigation for approximately 1700 km of multi-channel streamer seismic-reflection data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during cruise 2014-002-FA along the Delmarva Peninsula, MD and VA. This information can help spatially correlate the seismic-reflection profiles with other data in the GIS.

For each seismic trackline there is one seismic-profile image that is hyperlinked by the field 'image'. No duplicate reflection points exist. Completeness_Report: Places where navigation was recorded but no seismic data were logged are not included such as turns and transits. There is no image, trackline, or reflection points for l7f1; the S-Boom was not firing, so no data were collected. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) navigation data were acquired with a Hemisphere receiver and recorded with HYPACK (www.hypack.com). The DGPS antenna was located on the port-side of the acquisition van. The applied acoustics S-Boom source was towed 20-m astern of the M/V Scarlet Isabella. The 100-m long GeoEel 16-channel streamer was towed from the starboard side of the M/V Scarlett Isabella on a 4.82 m boom with 20 m of tow cable and 10 m of isolation in front of the start of the active channel. The Geometrics CNT-1 acquisition software logged the navigation coordinates (in arc seconds) to individual trace headers. Layback distance between the Hemisphere antenna and the source and receiver were calculated in post processing. The resulting horizontal accuracy is assumed to be +/- 2 m; however, inaccuracies likely exceed this value due to uncertainty of azimuths calculated in the layback correction (described in the processing steps).

The applied acoustics S-Boom source was towed astern of the M/V Scarlet Isabella at a power level between 200 and 300 joules. The Geometrics GeoEel, 16-channel liquid filled digital streamer was towed from the starboard side of the vessel, and the center of the first channel of the active section was 10 meters aft of the boomer source. The streamer had a group interval of 3.25 meters connected to Geometrics Streamer Power Supply Unit (SPSU). Data were acquired in Geometrics SEG-D format on Windows PC controller system using Geometrics CNT-1 software. The sample interval was 0.25 ms. GeoEel Configuration: Lines l1f1-l7f1 and t1fl-t6f1 had weight (2 kilograms) on the middle of each active section. From line t7f1 through to the end of survey the weight was removed from the two active sections (head and tail). S-Boom configuration: Lines l1f1, l2f1, and t1f1 used 2 plates at 200 joules; lines t2f1, t3f1, l3f1, and l4f1 used 1 plate at 200 joules; and lines from t4f1 to the end of survey used 3 plates at 300 joules. Process_Step: Process_Description: A SIOSEIS seismic processing software script was used as follows: the raw SEG-D shot files were read with the process SEGDDIN specifying geometrics format; the process HEADER was used to insert time of day into the header based on the start and end times recorded in the HYPACK files and what was entered in the survey log. The process GEOM was used to describe the shot and streamer geometries and to calculate the reflection point (RP) numbers used to gather (sort traces) the seismic line. The process GEOM also set the shot-receiver distance into the trace header of every trace. GEOM type 6 was specified (because positions were absent or bad in the header), which computes a distance from last shot (DFLS) for each shot based on the shot time in the header and the navigation from an ASCII file containing time and position. The ASCII navigation file was derived from the HYPACK data and merged with reflection point files with the Unix join command. The process GATHER was used to sort the shot order traces by the RP numbers (computed by GEOM). A normal move out (NMO) applied a travel time correction to each trace based on time offset and a velocity of 1500 m/s. A script was used to apply layback to the navigation supplied from HYPACK. Using Easting and Northing coordinates (UTM Zone 18 N, WGS84) from the trace headers, the script calculated easting and northing differential values between trace positions. Headings between consecutive traces were calculated using the arctangent function (arctan2(dy,dx)), and reciprocal back bearings were determined using a lookup table. Back bearings were smoothed along track using a moving median function. Layback easting and northing offsets were calculated by multiplying the linear distance between the GeoEel and the shipboard DGPS receiver by the sine and cosine of the smoothed back bearing, respectively. Offset values were then added to the original coordinates to produce layback positions. Lastly, the RP trace gathers were written with the process DISKOX in SEG-Y rev. 1, IEEE floating point format. This step and all subsequent steps were completed by Dave Foster.

The process DISKIN read the RP sorted SEG-Y file. The process STACK was used to sum traces, compute the average amplitude for each trace sample, and write the computed samples to one trace. The trace header values of the first trace in the gather were used for the stacked trace. The process FILTER applied a zero-phase bandpass frequency domain filter between 600 and 2000 Hz with a slope of 48 decibel per octave slope. The process AGC applied an automatic gain control (AGC) with a window length of 5 ms. The computed multiplier for each AGC window was reduced by fifty percent. Lastly, the processed stacked traces were written to disk with the process DISKOX in SEG-Y rev. 1 , IEEE floating point format. Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: A Seismic Unix script was used to read the trace headers of the stacked SEG-Y files and write RP, layback corrected X and Y, year, day, hour minute, seconds only where the original channel number was equal to one (the channel closest to the source). Some RP gathers did not contain a trace with channel one in the header and were eliminated. An AWK script was used to format the trace navigation with layback-corrected positions in a comma-delimited file (CSV). An additional script was used to parse the navigation at first, last, and every 100 reflection points, then saved as a CSV file. Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: 100-rp text files created in the previous step were concatenated into a comma-delimited text file, then imported into ArcMap (version 9.3) using 'Create Feature Class from XY Table' and saved as points (UTM Zone 18, WGS 84) in the Esri shapefile format. Additional fields for Survey ID, Device ID, and Vehicle ID were added in ArcMap.
