| Description |
Single-beam bathymetry data along with GPS navigation data was collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey cruise J-2-00-SF. The cruise was conducted in Grizzly Bay and San Pablo Bay in the San Francisco Bay area, California from March 22 to March 27, 2000. The chief scientist was Bruce Jaffe from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology office in Menlo Park, CA. The purpose of this cruise was for ground truthing, and to collect box cores and gravity cores. These data are reformatted from space-delimited ASCII text files located in the Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) InfoBank field activity catalog at http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/j/j200sf/html/j-2-00-sf.meta.html into MGD77T format provided by the NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center(NGDC). The MGD77T format includes a header (documentation) file (.h77t) and a data file (.m77t). More information regarding this format can be found in the publication listed in the Cross_reference section of this metadata file. [More]
