Archive of Digital CHIRP Seismic Reflection Data Collected During USGS Cruise 06SCC02 Offshore of the Chandeleur Islands, Louisiana, July 2006

In July of 2006, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted geophysical surveys offshore of Chandeleur Islands, LA, and in nearby waterbodies. This report serves as an archive of unprocessed digital CHIRP seismic reflection data, trackline maps, navigation files, GIS information, Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, observer's logbook, and formal FGDC metadata. Gained digital images of the seismic profiles are also provided. The archived trace data are in standard Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) SEG-Y format (Barry and others, 1975) and may be downloaded and processed with commercial or public domain software such as Seismic Unix (SU). Example SU processing scripts and USGS software for viewing the SEG-Y files (Zihlman, 1992) are also provided.
