This data set was acquired with a ship-based Magnetometer, Gravimeter, and Echosounder during Robert D. Conrad expedition RC2113 conducted in 1978 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Robert Leyden). These data files are of MGD77 format and include Gravity Field, Singlebeam Bathymetry, and Magnetic Field data that were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Norwegian Sea - The Application of Multichannel Seismic Reflection/Refraction techniques to measure velocity and thickness, to help establish the transition from oceanic to continental crust, to add information to what is known about the voring plateau and escarpment, the Faroe-Shetland escarpment, the Lofoton basin and trends in basement gravity highs along the shelf edge., and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): 439-506 1-5973. ...
