k190gb.m77t and k190gb.h77t: MGD77T data and header files for single-beam bathymetry data for field activity K-1-90-GB in Glacier Bay, Alaska from 06/14/1990 to 06/24/1990

Single-beam bathymetry data along with SINS navigation data was collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey cruise K-1-90-GB. The cruise was conducted in Glacier Bay, Alaska from June 14 to June 24, 1990. The chief scientist was Paul Carlson from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology office in Menlo Park, CA. The overall purpose of this study was to look at glacial discharge streams and morainal banks of tidewater glaciers and imaging of gulleys and chutes on a pro-delta face in Queen Inlet and ice gouges on the moraine at the mouth of Muir Inlet.The geophysical source was a 7 kilohertz (kHz) and 3.5 kHz system. These data are reformatted from space-delimited ASCII text files located in the Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) InfoBank field activity catalog at http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/k/k190gb/html/k-1-90-gb.meta.html into MGD77T format provided by the NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center(NGDC). The MGD77T format includes a header (documentation) file (.h77t) and a data file (.m77t). More information regarding this format can be found in the publication listed in the Cross_reference section of this metadata file.
