One objective of the U.S. Southern Ocean Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (SO GLOBEC) program is to gain a better understanding of the sea floor bathymetry in the program study area. Much of Marguerite Bay and the adjacent shelf west of the Antarctic Peninsula were poorly charted when the SO GLOBEC program started in 2000. Before the first SO GLOBEC cruise, an improved local area version (ETOPO8.2A) was created from the ...
The High Resolution Profiler (HRP) is one of the only oceanographic instruments that is capable of measuring turbulent velocity and temperature fluctuations in the abyssal ocean. It is a unique device, and consequently specialized communications, data conversion and analysis software are employed to examine the data it collects. This document describes a major upgrade of the software and hardware systems used to process data from the HRP. The bulk of ...
This document is a borehole seismometer study of Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) Site 418. We had four objectives: (1) describe basement rock, sediments, seafloor and ocean environment at Site 418, (2) provide a bibliography of published data on Site 418 (3) present previously unpublished scientific results from the borehole seismometer experiments, and (4) summarize knowledge on the condition of the re-entry cone, bottom hole assembly, and hole.
