Marine Geoscience Data System
EW9417 Bathymetry:Singlebeam, Gravity:Field, Magnetic:Field
Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9417 (1994)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system, BellAerospace BGM-3 Gravimeter, and Varian Inc. V75 Magnetometer during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9417 conducted in 1994 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Andre Droxler). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Magnetic Field, Gravity Field, and Singlebeam Bathymetry data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Neogene Segmentation of a Carbonate Megaplatform by Strike-Slip and Related Extension Tectonics and Paleogateway for Neogene Initiation and Strengthening of Caribbean Current, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): JOI-3-95 and OCE91-16323.
