Marine Trackline Geophysical data represented by the M77 tag are inclusive of singlebeam bathymetry, marine magnetic, and gravity data and were collected during marine cruises from 1933 to the present. These data are traditionally stored in the M77T format and are a foundational dataset for NOAA. Coverage is worldwide. One Header record and multiple Data records are available for a particular cruise/leg (port to port operation).

Marine Trackline Geophysical data represented within the side-scan sonar data are from towed instruments closer to the seafloor that use sound to image features on the ocean floor. This technique can create shadows like shining a flashlight, which help determine size and features. This system is often used to map cultural heritage sites like shipwrecks, to characterize the makeup of the seafloor, and can even be used to help biologists identify habitats of marine animals.

Marine Trackline Geophysical data represented by sub-bottom seismic data, which we sometimes also call chirp (based on its operating mode), uses a 3.5 kHz operating frequency. Research vessels use this technology to produce cross sections or vertical slices of the upper tens to hundreds of meters of the sediments below the seafloor.

NOAA's Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline is a high-quality, Geographic Information System-ready, general-use digital vector data set created by the Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) Division of NOAA's Office of Ocean Resources Conservation and Assessment. The Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline is now managed by the NOS Coastal Services Center (CSC). Compiled from hundreds of NOAA coast charts, this product comprises over 75,000 nautical miles of coastline (nearly 2.5 million vectices), representing the entire coterminous United States of America.
