Malinverno, Alberto, et al., (2019), Location and distances to oceanic magnetic polarity block boundaries (anomalies 13ny-34ny) on a global ship track data set (South Atlantic, Indian, South Pacific, and North Pacific Oceans). Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS). doi:10.1594/IEDA/326490

Location of magnetic polarity block boundaries and distances measured along plate tectonic flow lines in 154 ship tracks. File names are, e.g., "CAPANT-84000411_CAP_a.bmdisttrack.txt" where "CAPANT" denotes the plate boundary, "84000411" is the cruise identifier, "CAP" denotes the ridge flank, and "a" is a character distinguishing different track segments from the same cruise (additional track segments would be denoted with characters "b", "c", etc.). Each record in the data file lists a magnetic polarity block boundary (e.g., 'C13ny’), latitude and longitude of the boundary in the original track and on the track projected on a plate tectonic flow line, and distance to the boundary on the projected track. Specifically, each ship track file contains the following columns: (1) Boundary: Magnetic polarity block boundary, e.g., C13ny (young end of anomaly 13 normal block). (2) Long.: Longitude of block boundary on original track (decimal degrees). (3) Lat.: Latitude of block boundary on original track (decimal degrees). (4) Proj.long.: Longitude of block boundary on track projected on a flow line (decimal degrees). (5) Proj.lat.: Latitude of block boundary on track projected on a flow line (decimal degrees). (6) Proj.dist.: Distance to block boundary on track projected on a flow line (km). (7) Proj.dist.st.dev.: Standard deviation of distance to block boundary (km). The data files are in ASCII format and were generated as part of a project called A global survey of marine magnetic anomalies to constrain the Late Cretaceous-Eocene time scale. Funding was provided by NSF award OCE15-35937.'
