|
Purpose
|
|
To study bottom topography, magnetic patterns, heat flow, sediments
|
|
and variations of the earth's magnetic field near the equator in the Western
|
|
Pacific, Indian, and southern Atlantic Oceans.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
Seismic reflection profiles.

Summary
|
|
Circe Expedition, a circumnavigation of the world which explored
|
|
the western Pacific, Indian and southern Atlantic oceans with
|
|
support from the National Science Foundation and the Office of
|
|
Naval Research. During this expedition, participants studied
|
|
bottom topography, magnetic patterns, heat flow, sediments and
|
|
variations of the earth's magnetic field near the equator. Data
|
|
pertinent to the sea floor spreading theory was collected. The
|
|
expedition used a seagoing computer and a satellite navigation
|
|
system, which was unique at that time.
