MARINE MAGNETIC PROFILES IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN 1961-1962

Abstract

Marine magnetic data were collected along 25,824 nautical miles of survey track in the Pacific Ocean. These data, presented in profile form, reveal distinct zones of differing magnetic character defined by changes in the frequency and amplitude of magnetic anomalies. The data also provide evidence that a north-south magnetic lineation pattern exists in the northeast Pacific Ocean between 133 and 165 deg west longitude.
