EW9502 Navigation:Primary

Processed ship-based Navigation Data acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9502 (1995)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Navigation system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9502 conducted in 1995 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kirk McIntosh). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format and include Navigation data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Investigation of Upper Plate Response to Subducting Plate Morphology and Seamounts as Subduction Zone Asperities: Cooperative German, Costa Rican, and United States Project, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE94-02091.
