The photos were collected with a modified Van Veen grab modified to carry still and video camera systems (small SEABOSS) during USGS survey 04011, conducted May 25- June 4, 2004. This data set was produced to ground-truth (verify) topography and backscatter intensity of the sea floor offshore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The acoustic data were collected with a multibeam sea floor mapping system during USGS survey 98015, conducted November 9 - 25, 1998. en 20040525 20040604 ground condition Complete None planned -70.126380 -69.848550 42.089030 41.623450 -70.126380-69.84855041.62345042.089030 General U.S. Geological Survey USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP Woods Hole Science Center WHSC R/V RAFAEL ArcView Shapefile bottom photograph locations photo locations stations sea floor Field Activity Number 04011 ground-truth ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans and estuaries oceans and coastal location General Cape Cod Massachusetts Cape Cod National Seashore northeast United States North America United States Atlantic Ocean None Public domain data from the U.S. government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

Locations of all still photographs of the sea floor collected during the R/V RAFAEL cruise 04011 were included in this data set. Navigation was by differential GPS; positional accuracy to less than 10 m. Navigation and time recorded on videotape were used to identify and register the still photographs. These data and identifiers were manually entered into spreadsheet software. Shapefiles were created in ArcView from the ASCII comma-delimited files exported from the spreadsheet application. rafa04011_botphotos.xls 200407 rafa04011_botphotos.shp rafa04011_botphotos.dbf rafa04011_botphotos.shx Lawrence J.
