- Abstract:
-
United States Geological Survey, St. Petersburg, Florida.
Chief Scientist: Jack Kindinger. Geophysical data (Chirp,
GPS) of field activity 02RCE01 (G-1-02-GM) in Gulf of Mexico,
Barataria Bay from 08/18/2002 to 08/19/2002,

- Supplemental_Information:
-
Equipment Used -
Chirp type: Sub-bottom Profiler, coded: CHIRP, brand: EdgeTech, model: X-Star, media: Digital, comments: Towfish model SB-424; Delph Seismic FSSB software, v. 2.4; using Easy Reel Winch
GPS type: Navigation Receiver, code: DGPS, brand: CSI Wireless, model: DGPS Max, media: Digital, comments: WAAS/Beacon DGPS; HYPACK software
Notes -
Digital 02RCE01 FACS logs were generated by Karynna Calderon in
July of 2003 using the handwritten logbooks and personal accounts of the
crew members.
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
