Shot-Point Navigation Data Collected Along Seismic-Profile Lines During U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cruise R/V RAFAEL 07034 in the Vicinity of Woods Hole, Offshore Massachusetts (RAFA07034SPNAV.SHP)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Imagery, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provides a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of the Massachusetts coastline, shows the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provides information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. Interpretive data layers were derived from multibeam echo-sounder and sidescan-sonar data collected in the vicinity of Woods Hole, a passage through the Elizabeth Islands, off Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In November 2007, bottom photographs, high-resolution seismic-reflection data, and Surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey.

美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）与美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）以及马萨诸塞州海岸带管理办公室（Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, MA CZM）合作，正编制马萨诸塞州沿岸海底的详细地质图。由NOAA原用于海图绘制工作采集的影像数据，为该段马萨诸塞海岸线的科研与管理活动提供了核心基础框架，可直观呈现海床的物质组成与地形特征，并提供沉积物运移及底栖生境相关信息。解释性数据图层源自在马萨诸塞州科德角外的伍兹霍尔周边及伊丽莎白群岛航道区域采集的多波束测深声呐与侧扫声呐数据。2007年11月，作为地面验证踏勘调查的一部分，项目组采集了海底照片、高分辨率地震反射数据与表层沉积物数据。
