Deep-Tow magnetics total field and anomaly data (ASCII format), Jurassic Quiet Zone survey (TN272, 2011)
This deep-tow magnetics total field and anomaly data set was collected with a total field SeaSPY precession 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). These processed data files are in ASCII format, with column headers. The magnetics values have been calibrated, merged with layback-computed navigation, and the IGRF has been removed.The data set was generated 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.
