Description:
Abstract:
Chief Scientists: Jim Gardner, Mike Field. Geophysical data (airgun, uniboom, 3dot5khz, 12khz, gravity, magnetics, miniranger) of field activity L-2-80-NC in Eel River Basin, Northern California from 04/14/1980 to 04/21/1980, <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/l/l280nc/html/l-2-80-nc.meta.html>.
Purpose:
These data and information are intended for science researchers, students from elementary through college, policy makers, and general public.
Supplemental_Information:

Equipment Used -
airgun single-channel airgun
uniboom
3dot5khz 3.5 khz bathymetry
12khz 12 khz bathymetry
gravity
magnetics
miniranger

Similar information is available for thousands of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry, seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and equipment information; as well as summary overviews, crew lists, and information about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution Policy" at: <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information Bank's digital data, analog data, and metadata is provided through... <http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/>
