Joint U.K./U.S. Controlled Source E.M. Experiment over the East Pacific Rise

这是与英国合作的项目，将在东太平洋隆起9.5 n的海面上进行可控源电磁实验。美国小组将在英国提供的4个接收器上增加4个9米天线。美国小组将参与巡航和数据解释。美国的参与将使获得的数据加倍，从而可以更好地解释。电磁测量是一项发展中的技术，具有很大的潜力，因为它可以提供其他方法无法获得的地壳孔隙度和热结构的信息。这是在大洋中脊进行的第一次实验，探测和确定大洋中脊岩浆房的可能性令人兴奋。这是一个开创性的实验，其结果应该有助于确定该领域的未来方向。

This is a cooperative projects with the United Kingdom to perform a controlled source electromagnetic experiment on the East Pacific Rise at 9.5 N. The U.S. group will add four 9 m antennas to the four receivers supplied by british. The U.S. group will participate in the cruise and in the data interpretation. The U.S. participation will double the data obtained and thus allow better interpretation. Electromagnetic measurements are a developing technique that has great potential because it can provide information on porosity and thermal structure of the crust that is unavailable by other means. This is the first experiment to be done at a mid-ocean ridge and the possibility of detecting and defining a mid-ocean ridge magma chamber is exciting. It is a pioneering experiment, and the results should help determine the future direction of the field.
