The MAFLA (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida) Study was funded by NOAA as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Program. Dr. L.J. Doyle produced grain size analyses in the historic 073 format for 2,168 sea floor samples collected on multiple cruises (MAFLA cruises 2, 10, 11, 29, 39, 14, 21, and MAFLA DM1 and DM2) conducted in the Gulf of Mexico from May 16, 1974 through February 20, 1978. Data include collecting institution, ship, cruise, sample id, latitude/longitude, date of collection, water depth, sampling device, method of analysis, sample weight, sampled interval, raw weight percentages of sediment, within a given phi range. Some samples also have percentages of total gravel, sand, silt, clay, and statistical measurements such as mean, median, skewness, kurtosis, and standard deviation of grain size. These data are part of the larger NCEI digital grain size database.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy
The horizontal accuracy of data values is approximately .001 degree of latitude/longitude.
Reliability
Quality control was performed by the originator. NCEI performed basic out-of-range location testing.
These data were contributed by the originator to NOAA's former National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) and may be part of a larger compilation archived as oceanographic data by NCEI. Data were contributed on nine track magnetic tape in ASCII form, as 80 character records blocked to 4800 characters/block. Ten files of MAFLA data were followed by additional STOCS data on the tape, as described in a separate metadata record. Data files included cruises MAFLA002, MAFLA010, MAFLA011, MAFLA014, MAFLA021, MAFLA029, MAFLA039, MAFLADM1, MAFLADM2, and MAFLADM4 - 15,175 records of 073 grain size data with no significant errors, so they were added to the NGDC Seafloor Sediment Grain Size Database.
From 1975 through the 1980s, most sediment data collected as part of offshore environmental baseline and/or habitat studies were part of a suite of measurements sent to NODC or NODC liasons. NODC data managers, primarily Francis Mitchel, then sent the sediment-related data (e.g., physical properties, composition, geochemstry, mineralogy) to the former NGDC as the authoritative archive and distribution point for sediment data. Many sediment analyses and descriptions, however, were maintained by NODC as benthic habitat data, and some additional sediment data were duplicated between the NODC and NGDC archives.
