Seafloor Magnetotelluric Investigation of Hot Spot and Swellof TEAHITIA (Jointly with French MEGELLAN Program)

该项目是与法国在南太平洋超级井上合作进行的大地电磁实验的一部分。仪器将使用法国船只进行为期4个月的部署。目的是确定超级井下的电导率结构，这些数据应该有助于区分羽流和岩石圈变薄的模型。数据还将用于观察海洋运动，这些数据将用于从分析地球电导率的数据中去除噪声。建模也将完成。电磁技术提供了用其他方法无法获得的有关地球深部结构的数据。在这里获得的数据应该证明了对深部地幔柱结构的独特看法，这对于提供热点对海洋岩石圈的影响的限制将是重要的。Filloux博士是海洋电磁传感领域的先驱。

This project is part of a cooperative magnetotelluric experiment with the French on the South Pacific superswell. Instruments will be deployed for 4 months using French ships. The purpose is to determine conductivity structure beneath the superswell the data should help discriminate models of plumes and lithospheric thinning. Data will also be used to look at oceanographic motions and these will be used to remove noise from data for analysis of earth conductivity. Modelling will also be done. %%% Electromagnetic techniques provide data on the deep structure of the earth that cannot be obtained by other means. The data obtained here should proved a unique view of deep mantle plume structure that will be important for providing constraints on the effects of hot spots on oceanic lithosphere. Dr. Filloux is a pioneer in the field of oceanic electromagnetic sensing.
