BIRPS (BIRPS) Geophysical Survey OCEAN: BIRPS Deep profile; Cape Verde (24/Sep/1991 to 30/Sep/1991)

This BIRPS deep profile survey took place in September 1991 off Cape Verde aboard the Bin Hai. The layout of the profiles consisted of two lines parallel to the spreading axis and nine lines perpendicular to the axis. The line spacing was 4 km so that structure within the oceanic basement could be mapped in three dimensions.
