Data_Set_Credit:
Seismic reflection data collection and processing were performed by J. Kindinger, J. Flocks, D. Wiese, and S. Dadisman of the USGS in St. Petersburg, FL; M. Kulp and S. Penland of the University of New Orleans; L. Britsch of the U.S. Army Corps of Enginners, New Orleans District; and G. Brooks of Eckerd College. Navigation data was edited by G. Peery and K. Calderon of the USGS in St. Petersburg, FL, with help from J. Dismukes, also of the USGS in St. Petersburg, FL.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 8.1.1.649

Data_Quality_Information:
Completeness_Report:
Navigation is missing for the start of some 00SCC04 lines. The first available navigation fix has been provided instead.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Positional accuracy was determined with a Trimble Centurian P-Code GPS receiver, whose accuracy is within 100 m. The navigation data used to create this shapefile have not been corrected to reflect the 20-m offset between the shotpoint and the GPS antenna.
Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
As seismic reflection data were acquired, the position of the vessel was continuously determined by a GPS receiver and recorded by a seismic acquisition system from which navigational data for each individual line were later extracted and saved as ASCII text files. These files were edited to remove spurious data values and fix incorrectly recorded dates. The first available navigation fixes for all 00SCC04 boomer tracklines were joined into a single text file which was imported into ArcView 3.2 and converted to a shapefile. This shapefile was then reprojected from WGS84 to NAD83 using the ArcView Projection Utility (ArcView 3.2).
