TowCam navigation XY data (ASCII format) at Incipient Rift, Galapagos Triple Junction (VANC01MV, 2002)

These TowCam navigation files were generated during 2002 R/V Melville cruise VANC01MV along a minor rift originating at the East Pacific Rise (EPR) at 2°40'N continuing southeastward for ~65 km. Photographs were assigned the position of the ship, assuming minimal layback of the camera sled. The files are in ASCII text format and present with the latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. There is one navigation file per TowCam deployment. The files were generated as part of a project called Geochemical and Geological Investigations of the Incipient Rift at 2° 40'N, East of the East Pacific Rise. Funding was provided by NSF awards OCE00-96360 and OCE00-99154.
