  Description:
    Abstract:
      United States Geological Survey, Menlo Park, California.
      Chief Scientists: Mark Pickett, Terry D. Jackson.
      Geophysical, geological, biological data (sidescansonar,
      uniboom, planktonnet, Rawinsonde, boxcore, bathymetry,
      tempsalinometer) of field activity M-2-95-MB in Monterey Bay,
      CA. The area of operations will be the central
      Californiacoast, within the MBNMS, out to 50 miles. from
      05/09/1995 to 05/21/1995,
      http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/m/m295mb/html/m-2-95-mb.meta.html.

    Purpose:
      These data and information are intended for science
      researchers, students from elementary through
      college, policy makers, and general public.

    Supplemental_Information:
      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

      Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
      Bank's digital data, analog data, and
      metadata is provided through...
      http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/

      This page accomodates a variety of search
      approaches (e.g., by platform, by region,
      by scientist, by equipment type, etc.).
