Statement

Geophysical equipment types used included: Airgun/Sleeve Gun, Echo Sounder, Gravimeter, Magnetometer, Pinger, Sidescan Sonar and Sparker. The survey was undertaken by British Geological Survey. Navigation: Magnavox satellite navigation system integrated with MX610 doppler sonar and Arma Brown Mk1 Mod 5 or Mk 1C gyro compass. Decca Mk21 main chain receiver - optional integration with above. Mk 21 lat-lon convertor. Equipment: Bolt 600B four guns with standard (1-40 cu.in.) range of chamber sizes, wave shape kits for 40 cu.in., BGS firing delay unit for synchronisation, Kemo bandpass filter, TSS 307 TVG amplifier and display on an EPC 4600 or EPC 3200 graphic recorder. Geomecanique 2 channel, 30m hydrophone system. Containerised Compare Reavell VHP 36 compressor system. Atlas Deso 10 echo sounder with hull mounted transducers (33 and 210kHz) and Edig 10 digitiser unit. 33kHz channel with selectable 7 or 19 element transducer for deep water operation. LaCoste and Romberg S75 air-sea gravity meter. Worden land gravity meter for base ties. Barringer M123 proton magnetometer - two tow cable sensor assemblies. Cycling controlled by seismic control system to eliminate sparker interference. Edo Western 248 pinger, 3.5/7.0kHz, 10 kW, towed fish transducer. Used with TSS 302 swell filter, display on EPC 3200 graphic recorder. EG&G surface sparker system - up to 2KJ capability. One 3-element and one 9-element spark array, Kemo bandpass filter, TSS 307 TVG amplifier, TSS 302 swell filter and display on EPC 4600 or EPC 3200 graphic recorder. Teledyne 7 channel, 10m hydrophone system. Kelvin Hughes MS47 transit sonar - hull mounted, 2 off - one port and one starboard scanning. Modified for dual operation and display on EPC 3200 recorder. Firing sequence controlled by seismic control system. For more detailed information see the Cruise Report.
