Near-bottom processed Deep Tow magnetics data from the East Pacific Rise at 17°S and 19°S (PANR06MV, 1998)

The magnetics profiles were collected using the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) deeply towed instrument package (Deep Tow) at 17°S and 19°S, East Pacific Rise, during the May 1998 cruise PANR06MV. The Deep Tow platform carried a 110 kHz sidescan sonar and a fluxgate magnetometer. These Deep Tow magnetic anomaly profiles are in ASCII format and present data values upward-continued to a depth of 2500m and resampled at 10m and 25m, as indicated in the file name. Data columns and units as follows: UNIX time, seconds UTC; Logitude, degrees E; Latitude, degrees N; Distance from axis, km; Tow fish depth, m; Bathymetry, m; Measured magnetic field, nT; Magnetic anomaly, nT; Upward-continued magnetic anomaly, nT. The data set was generated as part of the project called Towards quantifying eruptive timing and volcanic accretion on the Southern East Pacific Rise. Funding was provided by NSF award OCE21-28301.
