Morphological Characteristics of North Atlantic and North Pacific Seamounts as Factors for Designing Effective Survey Detection Strategies.

This report defines bathymetric and geophysical survey strategies, based on seamount morphological parameters, for the detection of North Atlantic and North Pacific seamounts. Characteristics derived from the morphological data are used to develop required survey track orientations and track spacing...

Description
Summary:This report defines bathymetric and geophysical survey strategies, based on seamount morphological parameters, for the detection of North Atlantic and North Pacific seamounts. Characteristics derived from the morphological data are used to develop required survey track orientations and track spacing to maximize seamount encounter probability in these oceans using the most economical survey pattern.
