Abstract:
This data set was generated as part of the 2010 GUlf of Mexico Basin Opening (GUMBO) program that collected wide-angle seismic refraction profiles in the northern Gulf of Mexico to better constrain crustal structure in the region.This data set presents the seismic P-wave velocity model for the eastern profile, GUMBO line 4, which extends for a distance of 507 km from offshore northwestern Florida, across the continental shelf and Florida Escarpment, and into the central Gulf of Mexico. The velocity model is in GMT-compatible netCDF grid format. The x-coordinate is profile distance in km (grid interval 0.2 km), the y-coordinate is depth in km (grid interval 0.1 km), and the z-values are P-wave velocities in km/s. The GUMBO seismic refraction survey was conducted during late 2010 using M/V Iron Cat operated by Reservoir Geophysical. The project was funded through ExxonMobil.
