Title:
Summary distances to oceanic magnetic polarity block boundaries (anomalies 13ny-34ny) on a global set of mid-ocean ridge flanks (South Atlantic, Indian, South Pacific, and North Pacific Oceans)
Abstract:
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. PACBAN-PAC: Pacific-Bellingshausen-Antarctica, Pacific plate, South Pacific Ocean. PACBAN-BAN: Pacific-Bellingshausen-Antarctica, Bellingshausen-Antarctica plate, South Pacific Ocean. PACFAR-PAC: Pacific-Farallon, Pacific plate, North Pacific Ocean. PACFAV-PAC: Pacific-Farallon-Vancouver, Pacific plate, North Pacific Ocean. PACVAN-PAC: Pacific-Vancouver, Pacific plate, North Pacific Ocean. Each summary distance file contains the following columns: (1) Chron: Magnetic polarity block boundary, e.g., C13ny (young end of anomaly 13 normal block). (2) bmdist(km): Summary distance to block boundary measured on a flow line (km). (3) bmdistsdev(km): Standard deviation of summary distance to block boundary (km). The data files are in ASCII format and were generated as part of a project called A global survey of marine magnetic anomalies to constrain the Late Cretaceous-Eocene time scale. Funding was provided by NSF award OCE15-35937.
