Multichannel Seismic-Reflection Profiles
Western Florida Shelf
USGS Open File Report 87-372*

Data Announcement 88-MGG-03

     Approximately 1,500 km of multichannel seismic-reflection data are available for purchase from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) for the western Florida shelf. These data were collected on the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) R/V GYRE October 19, 1982. The USGS, Department of Interior has made these profiles available for public dissemination.

     The multichannel seismic-reflection system consisted of a 1.200-m streamer, a Texas Instruments Digital Field system, a DFS- V recorder, and a Bolt 500-cu. in. airgun. The gun was positioned 15 m off the stem and the near-phone section was 230 m astern. The shot-point interval was 25 m. The streamer was composed of alternating and inactive segments, each 50 m long. Twenty-four fold data were recorded for 4 sec in SEG-B format. The quality of the seismic records is good to 2 sec. Navigational control was provided by the USGS integrated navigation/gravity system built around a Western Geophysical, Inc. Survey and Data Management System. The Western system uses data from 6 navigation sensors.
