What is the function of the output CMP and FAC files?
The CMP files provide information on the abundances (or prominence) of grain types, sedimentary features, and other components of the sea floor, for example of Halimeda algal grains, of ripples, and of hydrogen sulfide odor. The FAC file synthesizes these kinds of data by applying a Fuzzy Set operator and creating a superset across a selection of components/features a geologic facies. For example, a calcareous pelagic facies is defined as the FST membership across samples that show nannoplankton, planktic foraminifera, or pteropod remains, or are described as calcareous ooze.
