  Description:
    Abstract:
      National Institute of Polar Research. Data (bathymetry,
      gravity, meters, navigation, seismic) of field activity
      S-1-90-WP in Western Pacific from 11/14/1990 to 11/28/1990,
      http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/s/s190wp/html/s-1-90-wp.meta.html.

    Purpose:
      These data and information are intended for science
      researchers, students from elementary through
      college, policy makers, and general public.
