Summary
|
|
Approximately 900 km of 24-fold Common Depth Point (CDP)
|
|
seismic-reflection, gravity, magnetic gradiometer, and 3.5 and
|
|
12.5 kHz echo-sounding data were collected for the continental
|
|
margin of Wilkes Land, Antarctica. Gravity and bathymetric data
|
|
were also collected for the transit line between Wilkes Land and
|
|
New Zealand. The data were collected in 1984 by the U.S.
|
|
Geological Survey R/V S.P. LEE. The seismic data source was a 5-
|
|
airgun array totaling 1,311 cu. in., pressurized to 2,000 psi,
|
|
towed at a depth of 10.5 m. The receiver consisted of a 24-
|
|
channel hydrophone streamer, with 100-m group lengths containing
|
|
60 hydrophones i each group. The near channel offset from the
|
|
airguns was 297 m. The data were recorded with a GUS Model HDRR-
|
|
4200 recording system.
|
|
|
|
The magnetic gradiometer data were recorded continuously
|
|
with a Geometrics proton-precession marine gradiometer. Two
|
|
proton-precession magnetometers, separated horizontally by 150 m,
|
|
were towed aft of the ship. The near sensor was towed 300 m aft,
|
|
and both sensors were towed at a depth of approximately 50 m.
|
|
Data were measured at 4-sec intervals. The gravity data were
|
|
recorded continuously with a LaCoste and Romberg sea gravimeter
|
|
on a 2-axis stabilized platform. Data were collected at 20-sec
|
|
intervals and later desampled to 2 min or greater for plotting
|
|
and modeling.
