The NBP research vessel data acquisition systems (RVDAS) continuously log data from the instruments used during the cruise. This document describes:
· The
structure and organization of the data on the distribution media
· The
format and contents of the data strings
· Formulas
for calculating values
· Information
about the specific instruments in use during the cruise
· A
log of acquisition problems and events during the cruise that may affect the
data
· Scanned
calibration sheets for the instruments in use during the cruise
The data is distributed on a DVD-R written in ISO9660 level-1 format. It is readable by virtually every computing platform. All data has been packaged in Unix tar archive files. Most files inside the tar archive have been compressed to reduce size. Compressed files are identified by the extension “gz”. Tools are available on all platforms for uncompressing and de-archiving these files:
· On
Macintosh, use Stuffit Expander with DropStuff or the command line
utilities.
· On
Windows, use WinZip or the freeware program 7zip (installer is located in /other/7zip.exe).
· tar,
gzip, and gunzip are standard tools on all Unix and Unix-like systems.
· Multibeam
data is distributed separately.
IMPORTANT: Read the last section, “Acquisition
Problems and Events,” for important information that may affect the processing
of this data.
All archives were created using the command:
tar [z]cvf archive_name files_to_archive
with [z] being used to create “.tgz” archives.
To create a list of the files in the archive, use the Unix
command:
tar [z]tvf archive_name > contents.list
where contents.list
is the name of the file to create
To extract the files from the archive:
tar [z]xvf archive_name

Collaborative Research: The Connection
Between mid-Cenozoic Seafloor Spreading and the Western Ross Sea Embayment
Principle Investigators: Dr. Steve Cande, Dr. Joann Stock
Cruise NBP0701
conducted a marine geophysical survey to study the structural relationship
between the Adare Basin, east of Cape Adare, and the Northern and Central
basins of the Ross Embayment.
Previous cruises on the Palmer have documented that there was 170 km of
seafloor spreading between East and West Antarctica from 40 to 26 Ma (in the
mid−Cenozoic). This episode of seafloor spreading produced new seafloor
in the Adare Basin, but the relationship of this seafloor spreading episode to
the continental basins of the Ross Embayment, to the south, has not been
established.
NBP0701 acquired magnetic, gravity, swath bathymetry, and seismic data from the southern end of the Adare Basin south into the Northern Basin and Central Basin of the Ross Embayment in order to test between two hypotheses:
1) There is complete structural continuity southward from the Adare Basin into the Northern Basin, and that the Northern Basin of the Ross Sea also experienced 170 km of extension; or
2) Some displacement was transferred sideways into the Central Basin of the Ross Embayment.
The results have important implications for the overall geological history of Antarctica during the mid−Cenozoic, and also for processes that control the transition from continental to oceanic rifting, which is a topic of interest to many scientists worldwide.
Collaborative Research: Constraining the
Petrogenesis and Mantle Source of Adare Basin Seamount Lavas
Principle Investigators: Dr. Paterno Castillo, Dr. Kurt Panter
The fundamental cause
of Cenozoic magmatism in west Antarctica has been explained by a variety of
models based primarily on geochemical evidence gathered from igneous rocks
collected from continental west Antarctica and from Ross Island. The primary
objective of this project is to analyze critical age, petrographic,
petrochemical, and isotopic data that can be used to assess these existing but
often conflicting models on mantle geodynamics and control on magmatism in the
region.
To accomplish this goal, NBP0701 collected samples by dredging from the numerous
but relatively small volcanic seamounts in the Adare Basin in western Ross Sea, Northern Victoria Land, which we collectively called Adare Basin Seamounts (ABS). By establishing that these seamounts are of Cenozoic age and genetically related to other Cenozoic igneous rocks in west Antarctica, we should be able to constraint better the "pristine" mantle source composition of west Antarctic magmas by virtue of their small-volume, oceanic form of intraplate magmatism.
Our investigation for
the first time provides geochronologic and geochemical data for submarine
intraplate magmatism in the Adare Basin and can potentially be pivotal in the
study of magmatism not only in the west Antarctic, but also in the entire SW
Pacific region.
Hydroacoustic Study to Calibrate Nuclear
Test Monitoring Systems
Mr. Scott Jenkins and Dr. Donna Blackman
The hydroacoustic study
provided information to calibrate a component of the United Nations
International Monitoring System (IMS) for nuclear test monitoring. Small
explosive charges (4-lb SUS charges) designed to fire at water depths of
200-600 m were deployed at stations spaced approximately 200 nm apart along the
transit. These very brief impulsive signals propagated to distant hydrophone
receivers. Documentation of differences between predicted (based on IMS
hydroacoustic modeling approaches) and measured arrival time and frequency
content of the recorded signal will be used to quantify the uncertainty
introduced by high temperature/salinity gradients that characterize the
Antarctic Convergence Zone (ACZ). The zone's oceanographic conditions alter the
path of sound propagation and can cause frequency-dependent loss of signal
energy due to scattering. Although our signals were quite small, particularly
relative to a clandestine nuclear test in the oceans, the travel-time and loss
frequencies that we document can be extended to address relevant test
scenarios. Obtaining information from across the ACZ has been a US Dept. of
Energy priority for the past three years.
The distribution DVD
includes a GMT cruise track file (NBP0701.trk). It contains the longitude and latitude at one-minute intervals
extracted from the NBP0701.gmt file.
A plot of the cruise
track is available in postscript, pdf, and jpeg formats, in the files: NBP0701.track.jpg,
NBP0701.track.pdf, and 0701trk.ps.
These images are located in the trkmaps.tar file.
Satellite, weather, and
isobar images processed during this cruise can be found in the directory
/images in three tar files: ice.tar, isobar.tar, and wx.tar (weather).
Weekly cruise science
reports are located in the directory /scirep.
Seismic data has been distributed on sets of 22 DVDs. Appendix 5.3 describes the particulars of the seismic data collected.
The diagram below illustrates the seismic instrument configuration used on NBP0701.
Two primary datasets are created on each cruise: JGOFS and MGD77.
The data processing scripts used to produce JGOFS and MGD77 data
sets create a number of intermediate files. These files are included on the data distribution media in a
file called 0701proc. They are included to make re-processing easier in the
event of an error, but no extensive detail of the formats is included in this
document. For information, please contact itvessel@usap.gov.
The JGOFS data set may be found on the distribution media in the
file /process/0701JGOF.tar. The
archive contains one file produced for each day named jgDDD.dat.gz, where DDD
is the year-day the data was acquired. The “.gz” extension indicates that the
individual files are compressed before archiving. Each daily file consists of
22 columnar fields in text format as described in the table below. The JGOFS
data set is created from calibrated data decimated at one-minute intervals.
Several fields are derived measurements from more than a single raw input. For example, Course Made Good (CMG) and
Speed Over Ground (SOG) are calculated from gyro and GPS inputs. Daily plots
during the cruise are produced from the JGOFS data set. Note: Null, unused, or unknown fields are
indicated as “NAN” or 9999 in the JGOFS data.

The MGD77 data set is contained in a single file for the entire cruise. It can be found in the top level of the distribution data structure as NBP0701.mgd. The file NBP0701.gmt is created from the MGD77 dataset using the “mgd77togmt” utility. NBP0701.gmt can be used with the GMT plotting package.
The data used to produce the NBP0701.mgd file can be found at the root of the distribution media and in the file /process/0701proc.tar. The data files in the archive contain a day’s data and follow the naming convention Dddd.fnl.gz, where ddd is the year-day. These files follow a space-delimited columnar format that may be more accessible for some purposes. They contain data at one-second intervals rather than one minute and are individually “gzipped” to save space. Below is a detailed description of the MGD77 data set format.
All decimal points are implied. Leading zeros and blanks are
equivalent. Unknown or unused fields
are filled with 9s. All
“corrections”, such as time zone, diurnal magnetics, and EOTVOS, are understood
to be added.

The ADCP system measures currents in a depth range up to 1200 m (OS38 in deep profiling mode). In bad weather, ice, or unfavorable sea state the range is reduced, and sometimes no valid measurements are made. ADCP data collection is the OPP-funded project of Eric Firing (University of Hawaii) and Teri Chereskin (Scripps Institution of Oceanography). Data is collected on both the LMG and the NBP for the benefit of scientists on each cruise, and for the long-term goal of building a profile of current structure in the Southern Ocean.
Matlab “.mat” files containing current contour and vector data have been placed in the file /adcp/0701MAT.tar. Please note that these files must be considered preliminary only. Data are not a “final product” until post-processing has been performed by the principal investigators. For more information on data format, post-processing, and for data download, please visit: http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu.
A data feed is sent
from the ADCP system to RVDAS whenever a reference layer is acquired. This feed
contains east and north vectors for ship’s speed, relative to the reference
layer, and ship’s heading. This data is saved in files located in 0701adcp.tar in the directory /rvdas/nav.
The NBP carries a pCO2 measurement system from
Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO). pCO2 data is recorded by RVDAS and
transmitted to LDEO at the end of each cruise. pCO2 data is archived in the
file 0701pco2.tar in the /process directory, which contains the
pCO2 instrument’s data merged with GPS, meteorological and other oceanographic
measurements. For more information
contact Colm Sweeney (csweeney@ldeo.columbia.edu).
During the cruise, eXpendable BathyThermographs were
used to obtain water column temperature profiles. XBT profiles allow
corrections to the sound velocity profile for the multi-beam system. The data files from these launches are
included as 0701xbt.tar in the /ocean directory.
During the cruise, CTDs were used to obtain water column Conductivity,
Temperature and Depth profiles. The
data files from these launches are included as 0606ctd.tar in
the /ocean directory.
The Research Vessel Data Acquisition System (RVDAS) was developed at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University and has been in use on its research ship for many years. It has been extensively adapted for use on the USAP research vessels.
Daily data processing of the RVDAS data is performed to calibrate
and convert values into useable units and as a check of the proper operation of
the DAS. Both raw and processed data sets from RVDAS are included in this data
distribution. Quality-control plots for most instruments are created daily, and
may be found in postscript format in the file /process/0701QC.tar. The tables
below provide detailed information on the sensors and data. Be sure to read the
“Significant Acquisition Events” section for important information about data
acquisition during this cruise.
RVDAS data is divided into two general categories, underway and navigation. Raw data will be found
on the distribution media as subdirectories under the top level rvdas
directory: /rvdas/uw,
and /rvdas/nav.
Each instrument or sensor produces a data file named with its channel ID. Each data file is g-zipped to save
space on the distribution media.
Not all data types are collected every day or on every cruise.
The naming convention for data files produced by the sensors and
instruments is: NBP[CruiseID][ChannelID].dDDD. Example: NBP0701met1.d365.
· The
CruiseID is the numeric name of the cruise, in this case, NBP0701.
· The
ChannelID is a 4-character code representing the system being logged. For example the meteorology designation
is “met1”.
· DDD
is the day of year the data was collected.

Data is received from the instrument system via RS-232 serial
connections. A
time tag is added by RVDAS at the beginning of each line of data in the form,
yy+dd:hh:mm:ss.sss [data stream from
instrument]
where
yy = two-digit year
ddd = day of year
hh = 2 digit hour of the day
mm = 2 digit minute
ss.sss = seconds
All times are reported in UTC. The delimiters that separate fields in the raw data files are often spaces and commas but can be other characters such as : = @. Occasionally no delimiter is present. Care should be taken when reprocessing the data that the field’s separations are clearly understood.
In the sections below a sample data string is shown, followed by
a table that lists the data contained in the string.

There are two sets of fields
output by the gravity meter. The data record is output once per second, and identified by “$DAT” in the id field. A
summary of sensor environmental data is output every ten seconds, identified by
“%ENV” in the id field.

Seismic MSC Data From Cruise NBP0701
These data were recorded in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica, in
and around
the Adare Trough as part of the NSF Projects OPP-0440923
(Caltech) and
OPP-0440959 (Scripps) entitled "Collaborative Research: The
Connection
Between Mid-Cenzoic Seafloor Spreading and the Ross
Embayment". The PIs for
the survey are Steve Cande (Scripps) and Joann Stock
(Caltech). The data were
recorded as part of the cruise NBP0701 on the RVIB Nathaniel B.
Palmer, from
late Dec, 2006 through Jan, 2007. Multibeam, gravity, magnetics,
XBT and some
dredging samples were also acquired on the cruise.
The seismic equipment consisted of:
Data: The data are 8-sec records
with 2 mil (0.002 sec) sample rate.
The
cycle time on the guns was 12 sec.
The ship speed while
recording
was kept close to 4.5 kts, which gave an intershot
spacing
of approximately 27.8m. The data
are in little-endian,
IEEE
float format with ascii line-headers. The shot-coords are
given
in floating milli-arcsecs lat/lon in the trace headers.
Line
13 has a 12 sec record length (2 mil) and a 15 sec cycle
time
(34.6m). Lines 14 and beyond have a 12 sec record length
and
a 16 sec cycle time (37.1m).
Source:
6 GI guns, towed in a line with the closest 31m from the stern
of
the ship and the midpoint 43m. The guns are identical and
each
have a capacity of 225 cu in. The gun depth is 2m.
Starting
Line 13, the source is an array of 6 Bolt air guns
850/500/350/200/145/80
with a total of 2125 cubic inches.
Streamer:
48 channel, oil filled streamer with 12 birds. The closest
channel
(channel #1) is 150m behind the stern and the
interchannel
spacing is 25m. The streamer depth is 10m. Note
that
channel 37 is dead, and through cross-talk picks up the aux-1 channel.
Recorder:
OYO/DAS-1 fixed gain recorder with 48 channels, plus 2 aux
channels. The data are converted on the fly to
SEGY-format.
Sonobuoys:
Approximately 30 sonobuoys were deployed. The successful
ones
were usually the 57B-type and generally were live for 2
or
more hours (16 km). The sonobuoy data has regular 100 msec
burst
noise that is thought (but not verified) to be due the
transmission
of digital information from the sonobuoy.
Some
of the sonobuoys recorded at the beginning of the lines are
only
partially recorded (farther offsets) because the were
launched
for mammal monitoring purposes approximately 1/2 half
hour
before the seismic guns were started.
The sonobuoy data
is
on AUX-1 and also usually on AUX-2. A list of the good
sonobuoy
data is given in an accompanying file.
The data were recorded on a sequence of lines that are often
back-to-back with
only a few shots missing between them. Within each line the files
are broken
into a number of segments to keep the maximum file size < 2
Gbytes. Each
segment has it own line and reel header.
MCS LINES
A list of the lines is given below.
For each line the starting and ending shot number, lon-lat, and
date are given.

Sonobuoy
Info
Integer numbers are shot points. The first line for each sonobuoy
indicates
the release point and hence its nominal position. The second is the end of
the useful signal. "Mammal/partial" indicates that only
farther offsets are
present because the air guns were not active during the initial
1/2 hour of
deployment. In this
case, the first entry indicates when the guns were turned
on, no the position of the sonobuoy.
