BATHYMETRY PROGRAM KURILE ISLANDS EXPERIMENT

Abstract

A bathymetric survey was conducted as a part of the Kurile Islands Experiment. As the primary efforts of the experiment were directed toward the Ocean-Bottom Seismograph and Explosive Program, the method used during the bathymetric survey was appropriate but not optimum. Bathymetric data were very good and were as reliable as navigation would permit. However, the profile coverage was generally too sparse. The conclusion is that observations of depth values, OBS-environmental relations and overall bathymetry are valid within navigational limits.
