index.htm       - This file is intended to be the starting point for the DVD-ROM access.       

allpulley.apr - ArcView project file created       with ArcView 3.3 on a Windows XP computer. This project file uses TIFF       images with associated world files rather than ESRI formatted grids       removing dependency on extensions that do not come standard with ArcView       3.3.

allpulley_sa.apr - ArcView project file       created with ArcView 3.3 on a Windows XP computer. This ArcView project       contains grids and therefore requires the ArcView extension Spatial       Analyst.

Directory data - What follows is a brief description of       the data contained in the underlying directories which are utilized in the       GIS. For a more complete description of the data, refer to the data       catalog page and the metadata associated with each data file. This       directory contains the following subdirectories:
- basemap  - this folder includes         low-resolution color shaded-relief georeferenced TIFF images of the         region, a portion of the U.S. state boundaries for location reference,         and shapefiles describing the bounds of the study area. 
- bathymetry  - contains high-resolution         swath bathymetry grids and georeferenced TIFF images of the study area,         as well as hillshade representation of the bathymetry. These data were         collected in 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003.
- interpretation  - shapefile of the         interpretation of the seafloor within the study area
- rov_sub  - contains three subdirectories with         shapefiles of navigation pertaining to submersible and ROV operations         within the study area from the years 1999, 2000 and 2001. These         subdirectories are rov99, rov2001, and sse.         SSE refers to the Sustainable Seas Expedition submarine navigation.
- seaboss  - contains shapefiles         pertaining to the navigation associated with the Seabed Observation and         Sampling System (SeaBOSS) which includes points for individual photos,         as well as tracklines during which video imagery was acquired in 2003.         The subdirectory jpegs in turn contains numerous subdirectories         based on CD number (i.e.cd2444) which contain JPEG images of digitized         bottom photographs acquired by SeaBOSS.
- seismic  - contains shapefiles of the         seismic navigation from 1996 and 2001, both tracklines and shotpoint         navigation. The subdirectory images contains JPEG images of the         seismic-reflection profiles corresponding to the navigation.
- sidescan  - contains sidescan-sonar         mosaics of the seafloor in the study area collected in 2001.         Subdirectories indicate the projection of the imagery, either geographic         or UTM (zone 17, NAD83). These images are         available in TIFF format. 
- visualization  - contains MPEG         animations and Fledermaus scene files which show the relationship         between the high-resolution bathymetry and SeaBOSS bottom         photographs.

Directory htmldocs: contains the HTML pages accessed       within this report. This directory contains the subdirectory       icons which holds all the image files and icons utilized in       constructing the HTML pages.

Directory metadata: contains the HTML and ASCII text       versions of the metadata files for all the data contained in this report.       This directory is further organized into the following subdirectories:       basemap, bathymetry, interpretation,       rov_sub, seaboss, seismic, sidescan       and visualization.
