Field Activity B199SC

Identifier B199SC
Alternate names B-1-99-SC
Purpose Map benthic habitat
Description United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California. Chief Scientist: Guy Cochrane. Sidescan Sonar data (Kleinsidescan) of field activity B-1-99-SC in Northern Channel Islands, California from 03/01/1999 to 03/12/1999
Location California
Summary Collected data south of Anacapa, Santa Rosa, and San Miguel Islands. Possibly as much as 25% of the data is low quality due to weather and kelp problems.

Klein side scan roll 1 line ROSS 7, roll 2 line MIG 7B, roll 3 line ANA 32, roll 5 line MIG 11, Kleinsidescan Analog Materials list Guy R Cochrane
Sidescan sonar history file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. Kleinsidescan 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. Guy R Cochrane
Sidescan sonar labels file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. Kleinsidescan 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. Guy R Cochrane
Sidescan sonar navigation file is associated with the MIPS image of the same prefix. Kleinsidescan 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. Guy R Cochrane
SMIG1M.TIF - Sidescan sonar image of South San Miguel Island (UTM 10N, NAD83) Kleinsidescan 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.
