purpose:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), on behalf of the United States Government, has a requirement to carry out surveys of specific regions on the continental margin (slope and rise) in the U.S. Atlantic continental margin in order to obtain Raw Knudsen SEG-Y Datagram. These data are required to support any potential claim for an extended continental shelf by the United States under United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) Article 76. The requirement is for the collection and processing of full-coverage multibeam sonar data in water depths of approximately 2000 to 5500 m in order to precisely define the location of the 2500-m isobath and the "foot of the slope" as defined under UNCLOS Article 76. As part of their NOAA-funded research program, University of New Hampshire (UNH) researchers oversaw data acquisition, processing and archiving of the data collected during the cruise.

Resource Abstract:
The Marine Trackline Geophysics database contains bathymetry, magnetics, gravity and seismic navigation data collected during marine cruises from 1939 to the present. Coverage is worldwide. Data sources include both US and foreign oceanographic institutions and government agencies. This map service shows tracks (both ship and airborne) for all geophysical surveys in the database, split into sub-layers by data type. This dynamic map service allows these sub-layers to be toggled on/off: All Survey Types (0) - visible by default; Bathymetry (1); Gravity (2); Magnetics (3); Multi-Channel Seismics (4); Seismic Refraction (5); Shot-Point Navigation (6); Side Scan Sonar (7); Single-Channel Seismics (8); Subbottom Profile (9); Aeromagnetic Surveys (10). Separate cached (tiled) map services are also available for several of these layers: All Survey Types (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/web_mercator/trackline_all_parameters/MapServer), Bathymetry (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/web_mercator/trackline_bathymetry/MapServer), Gravity (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/web_mercator/trackline_gravity/MapServer), Magnetics (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/web_mercator/trackline_magnetics/MapServer), and Single-Channel Seismics http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/web_mercator/trackline_single_channel_seismics/MapServer).
