Summary distances to magnetic polarity block boundaries measured along plate tectonic flow lines in 13 ridge flank regions. These summary distances were obtained by rescaling and averaging distances determined on a number of ship tracks projected onto plate tectonic flow lines. File names are, e.g., "CAPANT-ANT-bmdist.txt" which denotes distances on the ANT plate ridge flank for anomalies formed at the CAPANT plate boundary. The ridge flank regions presented here are as follows. SAMAFR-AFR: South America-Africa, Africa plate, South Atlantic Ocean. SAMAFR-SAM: South America-Africa, S. America plate, South Atlantic Ocean. CAPSOM-CAP: Capricorn-Somalia, Somalia plate, Indian Ocean. CAPSOM-SOM: Capricorn-Somalia, Capricorn plate, Indian Ocean. CAPANT-CAP: Capricorn-Antarctica, Capricorn plate, Indian Ocean. CAPANT-ANT: Capricorn-Antarctica, Antarctica plate, Indian Ocean. PACANT-PAC: Pacific-Antarctica, Pacific plate, South Pacific Ocean. PACANT-ANT: Pacific-Antarctica, Antarctica plate, South Pacific Ocean. ...
