Ship-based Trackline Geophysical Data (MGD77) acquired during the Vema expedition V1806 (1962)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Gravimeter, Echosounder Sonar, and Magnetometer during Vema expedition V1806 conducted in 1962 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Maurice Ewing). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Gravity Field, Singlebeam Bathymetry, and Magnetic Field data and were processed after data collection.
