Archive of raw digital sidescan sonar data collected offshore Folly Beach, SC.
Abstract:
This CD-ROM contains copies of the navigation and field sidescan sonar data collected during USGS Cruise 96005, conducted during 1 -14 June, 1996.   The cruise was a collaborative field program between researchers at Coastal Carolina University and the USGS, Coastal and Marine Geology Program, Woods Hole Field Center.   The CD-ROM was produced in accordance with the ISO 9660 standard.  An area 3 to 15 meters was   surveyed using an 100 kHz sidescan-sonar system and tracklines are spaced so that data coverages overlap and can be assembled into arial mosaics.  HTML files enable access using www browsers.
