Mountain, Gregory, et al., (2020), Processed high-resolution 3-D multi-channel seismic data volume from a hybrid PCable and long-offset survey on the New Jersey margin - MGL1510. Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS). doi:10.26022/IEDA/329943

This is a time-processed 3-D multi-channel seismic data volume collected on the mid-continental shelf roughly 40 to 90 km off the coast of central New Jersey, USA. The data are within a rectangular area roughly 11.1 x 50 km, oriented NW-SE in 30 to 60 m water depths, collected in June-July, 2015 during cruise MGL1510. Chief Scientists were G.Mountain, M. Nedimovic, C.Fulthorpe and J.A.Austin, Jr. Acquisition was managed by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (R.Steinhaus, Ch.Sci.Officer) with sub-contracts to Geometrics (PCable seismic acquisition) and NCS-SubSea (seismic navigation). A single 3 km streamer was trailed to provide acoustic velocity measurements. Twenty-four 50 m PCables were towed from a 287-m cross cable. The seismic source was a tuned array of 4 conventional airguns of 700 cu. in. total volume towed from a centerline float. Data were collected along 50-km sail lines in SEG-D format in 0.5 ms samples from 0 to 4 s two-way travel time; this was resampled to 1 ms and 1500 ms record lengths post-cruise. Pre-stack processing included filtering, trace editing, statics and amplitude correction, assigning geometry and 3D CDP binning to 3.25 m x 6.25 m, and signature decon to provide source-receiver statics correction. Full volume processing included Surface-Related Multiple Elimination, FK filtering, Post-Stack Kirchhoff Time Migration, 3D filtering, wavelet shaping, balancing and filtering. The accompanying PDF document describes the data processing steps and the work station loading information for the 3-D seismic volume. The data set was generated as part of a project called Community-Based 3D Imaging That Ties Clinoform Geometry to Facies Successions and Neogene Sea-Level Change. Funding was provided by NSF award OCE-1260237.
