Description
Summary:During the Antarctic summer 1987-88, a geophysical survey (seismic, gravityand magnetics) was carried out by the Osservatorio Geofisico Sperimentale(OGS) of Trieste, Italy, in the Ross Sea with the Research Vessel Explora.Six lines of total length 2,323 km were collected. The first survey byO.G.S. in Antarctica started on January 2, 1988, when the O.G.S. Explorasailed from the harbour of Ushuaid (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) and endedon March 8, 1988, with its arrival in Wellington Harbour (New Zealand).Gravimetric and geomagnetic data were continuously acquired during thecruise, with minor interruptions due to adverse sea conditions. Themultichannel seismic survey was run in the Ross Sea from February 10 toFebruary 24.
