Description:

Abstract:

This GIS overlay is a component of the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Science Center's, Gulf of Mexico GIS database. The Gulf of Mexico GIS database is intended to organize and display USGS held data and provide on-line (WWW) access to the data and/or metadata.

Purpose:

This GIS data overlay is a point shapefile of hourly time fixes for GLORIA cruise Farn85-3A (WHSC 85034).

Source_Contribution:

The ASCII text file containing hourly time fixes were copied from the publication CD-ROM and used to create the GIS data layer.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Navigation data copied from Open-File Report 96-707 where it was stored as an ASCII file (FARN85-3.DAT), imported to Micorsoft Excel where a header was added to identify the fields, and hourly fixes were selected from the two-minute fix navigation. The data were exported form Excel as a comma delimited text file that was named farn85-3_hr.txt. The identification of the fields are: 1. Latitude, 2. Longitude, 3. Year, 4. Month, 5. Day, 6. Hour, 7. Minute, 8. Second, 9. Depth (m-corr) - correciton using Carter's Tables, 10. Depth (m-uncorr) - uncorrected water depth. Two additional fields were added to the file: Jday which contains the Julian day and Label which contains an hourly annotation.
