Marine Geophysical Survey Program 65-67. Western North Pacific Ocean and South China Sea. Area ST, Volume 2, Summary Report of Geophysical Information

Abstract

The volume summarizes the results of geophysical and acoustic measurements made by the R/V SANTA MARIA and R/V RUTH ANN during the transit cruises from Bermuda to Singapore from 24 May to 4 September, 1967. Part I contains the bathymetric and subbottom profiling, and physiographic provinces descriptions. Part II contains the magnetic intensity survey, the delineation of the magnetic province boundaries and their relation to the physiographic provinces. An analysis of cores from 7 stations is given in Part III. Photographs from 5 camera stations are also shown. Part IV summarizes sound velocity measurements, ray path computations, and the associated propagation anomaly obtained during the transit. The data from 6 hydrographic stations are presented in Part V. Salinities and temperatures obtained are used to determine values of sound velocity which are compared to corresponding data obtained at the same stations by sound velocimeter lowerings.
