Archive of Chirp Data Collected During USGS Cruise DIAN 97011 Long Island, NY Inner Shelf -- Fire Island, 5-26 May, 1997, USGS OFR 00-306

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

In 1995, the USGS Woods Hole Field Center, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, began a program designed to map the seafloor offshore of the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area; the most heavily populated, and one of the most impacted coastal regions of the United States.

Description

The ultimate goal of this program is to provide an overall synthesis of the sea floor environment, including surficial sediment texture, subsurface geometry, and anthropogenic impact (e.g. ocean dumping, trawling, channel dredging), through the use and analysis of sidescan-sonar and subbottom mapping techniques.

This regional synthesis will support a wide range of management decisions and will provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations. This CD-ROM contains digital high resolution seismic reflection data collected during the USGS DIAN 97011 cruise. The coverage is the nearshore of Long Island, NY in the vicinity of Fire Island.

The seismic-reflection data are stored as SEG-Y standard format that can be read and manipulated by most seismic-processing software. Much of the information specific to the data are contained in the headers of the SEG-Y format files. The file system format is ISO 9660 which can be read with DOS, Unix, and MAC operating systems with the appropriate CD-ROM driver software installed.
