The research grant N00014-90-J-1834 supported a 75-day geophysical field program on Reykjanes Ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean and Aegir Ridge in the Norway Basin of the Norwegian Sea. The field program took place in summer 1990 on R/V Maurice Ewing of Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory; the program was carried out jointly by researchers at the Naval Research Laboratory Code 5110, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and University of Hawaii.

the resonance frequencies of lower vibration modes of the disk are measured at varying pressures below the response pressure of the disk. from these measurements is extrapolated that pressure at which the resonance frequency becomes zero, the lowest pressure at which one of the modes would have zero resonance being the lowest response pressure of the disk.
