Deep-Tow magnetics sled wire-out data (ASCII format), Jurassic Quiet Zone survey (TN272, 2011)
The wire-out information is reqired in order to calculate the layback position of the DeepTow-MISO sled that was used for collecting the SeaSPY and Honeywell magnetics data during the 2011 Thompson cruise TN272 to the western Pacific (chief scientists Masako Tominaga and Maurice Tivey). The wire-out files are in ASCII format, with column headers. These files are combined with the shipboard GPS data and the time stamps in the raw magnetics files to calculate the layback position of the sled.The wire-out files were generated as part of the projects called A Deep-AUV Magnetic and Seismic Study of the Hawaiian Jurassic Crust - The Global Significance of Jurassic Magnetic Anomalies; and, A High-Resolution Deep-AUV Magnetic Survey of the Hawaiian Jurassic Basin. Funding was provided from NSF awards EAR10-29965, OCE10-29573 and EAR12-33000.
