Information Specialist(s):

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Sidescan

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Map benthic habitat

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Santa Barbara, CA

End Port/Location: Santa Barbara, CA

Data Acquired

Survey EquipmentSurvey InfoData Type(s)Data Collected
Kleinsidescan --- Sidescan
kleinsidescan (Metadata)
Sidescan sonar navigation file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. (Binary files. May contain date, time, latitude, longitude, roll, pitch, heading, velocity, altitude, depth, and left/right slant range distances for every line of data in the sonar image.)
Sidescan sonar labels file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. (Examples of information contained are: the number of lines and samples and the image type. May contain either image, sonar, navigation, projection, transformation, vector, or mosaic information for the image.)
Klein side scan roll 1 line ROSS 7, roll 2 line MIG 7B, roll 3 line ANA 32, roll 5 line MIG 11, (Analog Materials list)
SMIG1M.TIF - Sidescan sonar image of South San Miguel Island (UTM 10N, NAD83) (The sidescan sonar image of the nearshore seafloor (0 to 100 m water depths) of the Big Sycamore reserve area was mosaicked from data collected in 1998. The resolution of the processed data mosaics is 0.2 m. The data are presented here at a resolution of 1 m. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program Nearshore Benthic Habitat Mapping Project. See for more information.)
Sidescan sonar history file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. (All processing steps run on the image are listed sequentially. Processing step information includes program name, files and parameters selected for that run followed by a line of dashes.)
GPS --- Navigation
Global positioning system (GPS) data (Provisional best file)
