NAV DATA


Overview of time stamping system


UiB OBS-2014 survey: Overview of time stamping hardware and software.
UiB OBS-2014 survey: Overview of time stamping hardware and software.

The Survey Computer is the master of the system. All parameters for the seismic line - start and end positions, interval between shot points are entered by the operator. When the line is activated, the survey computer takes care of the rest by issuing the necessary triggering signals to other units in the system, and generating proper log files.

Processed nav data is delivered in modified UKOOOA P1/90 format. Download the P1/90 specifications from here. In the P1/90 file, the parameters associated with a shot point is put in a single line of text, however the formatting is very compact making the identification of the individual parameters a bit difficult.

GEOMAR has established an unofficial extension of the standard to accommodate the time stamp information that OBS surveys require. These time stamps are put in record positions that are normally assigned for other purposes, but can be "sacrificed" if need be.

See more detailed explanation below.

UTM Zone, reference point on vessel


All UTM data are relative to UTM Zone 35.

All coordinates are also relative to the position of the gravity meter on board the ship.

Location of gravity meter
Gravitymeter is placed at frame 40.

Frame distance is 0.6 m. Thus, gravity meter is 40 x 0.6 m = 24.0 m from the stern.

Acquisition geometry

Airgun offset distance


Airguns are positioned 43 meters behind the stern.

We have to add offset between gravity meter and stern, to obtain the total offset between source and positions given in navdata files.

Thus, total offset between source and positions given in nav data files is: 43 m + 24.0 m = 67 m.

UKOOA P1/90 navdata format


Output from nav data processing should be in UKOOA P1/90 format, slightly modified to accommodate three decimals in time value.

The UKOOA P1/90 format specification can be downloaded from SEG. It's a fixed-position format without any <SPACE> or <TAB> delimiters between fields, so it can be hard to read. However, by inserting appropriate comment field in the header, it can be made much more legible, as this example shows. The first part is the header; the individual shot points are at the end (six lines) :

UKOOA P1-90 navdata format structure.

The shot point (SP) parameter, for instance, is located from column 20 to 25, as shown below. The two column numbering lines, together with the parameter name line, is an aid in determining the column position of the different parameters. These three "legend" lines are not common - they are only inserted by the software we use to generate UKOOA P1/90 files.

Updated standard: P1/11


The P1/90 standard was updated some years ago:

We have not evaluated the new standard yet.

"OBS" modification of UKOOA P1/90 navdata format


OBS refraction surveys means that source (airguns on ship) and receivers (OBS placed on the bottom, or on land, as an extension of the profile) must maintain a common, accurate - to the nearest millisecond - time base. This is accomplished by special oven-controlled oscillators in the OBS instruments, and GPS locked clocks in land based instruments. On board the ship, the exact time of the shot point is recorded by two time-tagging systems operating in parallel (details provided in table of geophysical equipment above).

The time field in the UKOOA P1/90 format only accommodates seconds without decimals. The format has been modified to permit storage of shot times with six decimal places, of which only the three most significant decimals are used.

An example of modified file:

Parameters are given in first line. Most are self-explanatory, except these:

Gyro
Heading of ship (which could be different from the course the ship is following, due to current or wind direction).
Dal
Distance Along Line. NOTE: This is distance along current line SEGMENT, where new segment start at position of each OBS.
Dol
Distance Off Line (deviation from course line - we have manual steering of vessel).
Kp
Kilometer Post - total distance covered along the line.
Object
Description of Survey Computer navigation data handling. Complete text is not included in log file; it should read "H Mosby filtered", meaning that GPS positions (incl. differential corrections) are subjected to a filtering algorithm (Kalman).
Data
Data values, delineated by "", selected by Eiva Survey Computer operator; in this case Depth (from Simrad EK60 Echo Sounder on board), Gravity and Magnetometer.

The last item in each line ("" 01) can be ignored.

Shot time stamp files


The airgun controller (GUNCO) provides a signal that indicates when the shot was fired.

Technically, it's a TTL-level signal, normally in a HIGH state (approx 5 Volt); a short pulse of approx 100ms duration will be emitted at every shot, with the falling edge indicating the nominal shot point. Yes, individual air guns may fire a certain amount of time before or after this nominal shot point, but if this deviation is too large - in our case +/- 2 ms off target - the GUNCO will provide av audio and visible warning that the shot should be discarded.

The signal is routed to a special GPS receiver (Ashtech model ProFlex Lite DG14) furnished with a trigger input line. The trigger can be specified at falling or trailing edge of a pulse. When a trigger occurs the units transmits a record of the time stamps on one of its serial ports.

Time stamp values are NOT provided in UTC format, but in the format that is used internally by the GPS system - so called "GPS time". The difference is that "leap seconds" are inserted at irregular intervals into the UTC timing in order to keep UTC in sync with Earth's rotation (which is gradually slowing down, but not in a linear fashion), whereas GPS time is based on atomic oscillations that are unaltered over time. As of July 2014, GPS is ahead of UTC by 16 seconds (citation needed).

Generating UKOOA P1/90 file


   DESCRIPTION:   
   Merges information from two sources: a) The navigation files from the EIVA Survey
   computer, which holds records of Shot point (SP) number, UTM coordinates, date,
   time, depth and other parameters and b) accurate GPS based timing of each shot.

   Sequence of processing steps:

   A] The script applies an offset to EASTING & NORTHING coordinates in EIVA navigation
      file, in order to adjust for distance between seismic source and position reference
      point. Offset adjustment it based on treating shot points as vectors: First the 
      difference vector between current and previous SP is calculated. This vector is
      divided by its own length, obtaining a unit length vector. The unit length vector
      is then multiplied by the offset distance, yielding a correction vector that is
      subtracted from current SP. First SP is treated differently though, as there is no
      previous SP in that case; instead, next SP is used to obtain correction vector. 
      Idea for improvement: Use Python libs "SciPy" and "Numpy" and perform interpolation as in this example.
   B] Collect corresponding GPS time stamp from the other file. Convert GPS time stamp to
      UTC. Check that timestamps in EIVA and GPS-file differs only by a user-defined
      amount.
   C] Generate UKOOA file.

   INPUT FILES:
    Must be in same directory as this script. Name of input files stated in Constant
    section.

   OUTPUT FILE:
    Will be placed in same directory as this script.

   UKOOA P1/90 HEADER, UTM ZONE, OFFSET DISTANCE:
    See 'Constant' section.

   EXTERNAL LIBRARY USED:
    UTM to Lat/Long conversion - download library from:
       http://www.pygps.org/#LatLongUTMconversion  (no, link seems to be dead).
        LatLongUTMconversion.py download from local repository. 
        Should be replaced by pyproj module when time permits.
    Either:
    a) On Linux: Unpack it, and run "python setup.py install" as root.
       In order to build Python modules you must first install 'python-devel'.
    b) Windows/Linux: Put "LatLongUTMconversion.py" in the same directory as this file.

  F) SYNCHRONIZATION OF SPRING TENSION VALUE
     .......................................
     Due to circumstances the synchronization of spring tension value in software, and value shown on sensor
     counter, was done after base reading. This is not critical - it is only a question of offset adjustment.

      New synchronized reading: 14232.2. Offset adjustment of spring tension value: (14232.2-6159.8) = 8072,4

Gravity station, Longyearbyen Airport (now destroyed)


The old reference points at Longyearbyen Airport were been destroyed when new terminal building was constructed in 2007. So in 2008 we established our own "secondary" reference points, one near the Harbor Office at Bykaia, and the other near Bringkaia, by taking the approximate difference between that old point, and the new secondary points. Several difference readings have been performed in order to establish an accurate difference, see table below.

Here is information about the old gravity stations at the airport.

We believe measurements made after 2005 are more accurate. Thus, we estimate that difference between old reference point P at Longyearbyen Airport, and new secondary reference point at Harbor Office is (2.11 + 2.09 + 2.14 + 2.13)/4 = 2.118 counts, which must be converted to milliGals using land gravity meter calibration table, see above).
