A boomer seismic system was used to collect the subbottom data. Purpose: The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of sub-bottom seismic profiles (boomer) collected in western Long Island Sound aboard the R/V ASTERIAS during 1985. The seismic data collected along these ship tracks can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

This data set is the navigation from that cruise. Process_Step: Process_Description: Selected navigation points from the original onboard logs were hand plotted on charts with Loran overlays. These overlays were then registered and digitized (using a Calcomp 9100 table and PC Arc/Info) to create point coverages with CT state plane coordinates. Ungenerated point coordinates were used to generate a line coverage. Lines were edited where necessary (split at start/end) and attributes were added.
