Data Acquired

Survey EquipmentSurvey InfoData Type(s)Data Collected
SIG 2Mille sparker system --- Sparker
Seismic FFID/Shot/CDP data s-07-11-sc.410_sparker (Provisional best file)
Minisparker seismic-reflection data collected offshore of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties, southern California (This dataset includes raw and processed, high-resolution seismic-reflection data collected in 2011 to collect information on active offshore faults. The survey area is offshore southern California between Long Beach and San Diego. The data were collected aboard the U.S. Geological Survey R/V Parke Snavely. The seismic-reflection data were acquired using a SIG 2mille minisparker system. Subbottom acoustic penetration spanned tens to several hundreds of meters, variable by location and equipment type.)
Edgetech SB-05121 Chirp system --- Boomer
Chirp seismic-reflection data collected offshore of San Diego and Los Angeles Counties, southern California (This dataset includes raw and processed, high-resolution seismic-reflection data collected in 2011 to collect information on active offshore faults. The survey area is offshore southern California between Long Beach and San Diego. The data were collected aboard the U.S. Geological Survey R/V Parke Snavely. The seismic-reflection data were acquired using an EdgeTech 512 subbottom profiler. Subbottom acoustic penetration spanned tens to about 50 meters, variable by location.)
