| Marine sparker SEG-Y seismic data recorded using receive hydrophones |
Calibrated single channel phones |
Seismic data were recorded from the R/V San Lorenzo (RVSL, receive vessel) of a two-vessel marine sparker seismic survey conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in April of 2021 off the coast of Santa Cruz, California (USGS field activity 2021-619-FA). The R/V Parke Snavely (RVPS, source vessel) towed a marine sparker sound source along seven depth site transects ranging between 25 and 600 meters. The RVSL maintained a nearly stationary position at the midpoint of each transect and recorded sound data with a broadband omnidirectional Cetacean Research CR3 hydrophone positioned between 10- and 20-meters water depth below the RVSL. RVSL receive seismic data are presented in SEG-Y format. Shot point navigation are provided in an accompanying comma-delimited text file, as well as in a shapefile for visualization purposes. |

| Marine sparker source SEG-Y seismic data |
Calibrated single channel phones |
Seismic data were recorded aboard the R/V Parke Snavely (RVPS, source vessel) during USGS field activity 2021-619-FA. Data were recorded with a broadband spherical reference Reson TC4034 hydrophone positioned directly below the SIG ELP790 or the Applied Acoustics Delta sparker source which were towed from the stern of the vessel. Source data were recorded as the R/V Parke Snavely made several passes along 7 different water depth transects and are presented in SEG-Y format. Shot point navigation are provided in an accompanying comma-delimited text file, as well as in a shapefile for visualization purposes. |

Calibrated single channel phones |
Peak amplitude values recorded at source and receive hydrophones during a two-vessel marine sparker seismic survey conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in April of 2021 off the coast of Santa Cruz, California (USGS field activity 2021-619-FA) are presented. On the source vessel (R/V Parke Snavely, RVPS), near-field data were recorded using a broadband spherical reference Reson TC4034 hydrophone positioned 1-meter below the sparker source (either a SIG ELP790 or an Applied Acoustics Delta sparker) along seven depth site transects ranging between 25 and 600 meters. On the nearly stationary receive vessel (R/V San Lorenzo, RVSL), omnidirectional Cetacean Research CR3 hydrophones were positioned between 10- and 20-meters water depth below the vessel to record the far-field signal. Data are presented in csv format, accompanied by combined scatter plots per depth site and mean-filtered curve plots for visualization purposes. |

| R/V Parke Snavely (source vessel) navigation and survey geometry |
Calibrated single channel phones |
Navigation data were recorded for the R/V Parke Snavely (RVPS, source vessel) during USGS field activity 2021-619-FA in April of 2021 off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. Data were collected as the RVPS towed a marine sparker sound source along seven depth site transects in water depths ranging between 25 and 600 meters. The R/V San Lorenzo (RVSL, receive vessel) maintained a nearly stationary position at the midpoint along the seven depth site transects and recorded sound with a calibrated hydrophone. Navigation data and survey geometry information are presented in csv format as well as a trackline shapefile. |
