Sea-surface magnetic field and anomaly raw data (ASCII format), Jurassic Quiet Zone survey (TN272, 2011)

This sea-surface magnetics data was collected with a towed total field SeaSPY precession magnetometer during the 2011 Thompson cruise TN272 to the western Pacific (chief scientists Masako Tominaga and Maurice Tivey). The data file is in ASCII format, with column headers. It includes the magnetic field and the corresponding IGRF-corrected magnetic anomalies. The position of the towed sensor has been corrected for distance behind the ship. The data set was collected as part of the projects called A Deep-AUV Magnetic and Seismic Study of the Hawaiian Jurassic Crust - The Global Significance of Jurassic Magnetic Anomalies; and, A High-Resolution Deep-AUV Magnetic Survey of the Hawaiian Jurassic Basin. Funding was provided from NSF awards EAR10-29965, OCE10-29573 and EAR12-33000.
