TN272 Magnetic:Field
Deep-Tow magnetics 3-component total field raw data (ASCII format), Jurassic Quiet Zone survey (TN272, 2011)
This deep-tow, total field 3-component magnetics data set was collected with a Honeywell HMR2300 magnetoresistor type of vector magnetometer attached to the DeepTow-MISO towed sled during the 2011 Thompson cruise TN272 to the western Pacific (chief scientists Masako Tominaga and Maurice Tivey). The data files are in ASCII format, with column headers, and include the X-, Y- and Z-components of the magnetic field. The data set was collected as part of the projects called A Deep-AUV Magnetic and Seismic Study of the Hawaiian Jurassic Crust - The Global Significance of Jurassic Magnetic Anomalies; and, A High-Resolution Deep-AUV Magnetic Survey of the Hawaiian Jurassic Basin. Funding was provided from NSF awards EAR10-29965, OCE10-29573 and EAR12-33000.
