Summary
Abstract: This data set contains underway geophysical data collected on a transit cruise
between Cape Town, South Africa, and Punta Arenas, Chile, during April 2001.
We collected gravity data using a shipboard Lacoste-Romberg gravimeter,
magnetic field data using a proton precession magnetometer towed behind the
ship, and centerbeam depth (bathymetry beneath the ship). IGRF2000, calculated
for the ... View entire text
