  • Technical Report
    Seismic reflection, magnetic, and gravity profiles of the eastern Atlantic continental margin and adjacent deep-sea floor. II. Congo Canyon (Republic of Zaire) to Lisbon (Portugal)
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1974-04) Uchupi, Elazar ; Emery, Kenneth O.
    One of the programs of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (I.D.O.E.) is a geological and geophysical study of the eastern Atlantic continental margin and adjacent deep-sea floor. This report is a compilation of the geophysical traverses made from the Congo Canyon (Republic of Zaire) to Lisbon, Portugal during the first half of 1973. Also included in the atlas are geophysical traverses from Woods Hole to Dakar and from Dakar to Latitude 10°N made during January-February, 1972.

    Geodetic fixing of tide gauge bench marks : technical report
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1989-08) Carter, William E. ; Aubrey, David G. ; Baker, Trevor ; Boucher, Claude ; LeProvost, Christian ; Pugh, David T. ; Peltier, W. R. ; Zumberge, Mark A. ; Rapp, Richard H. ; Schultz, Robert E. ; Emery, Kenneth O. ; Enfield, David B.
    Under the auspices of the International Association for Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO) a committee was established to identify the oceanographic and geophysical requirements for fixing Tide Gauge Bench Maries (TGBM's) in an absolute terrestrial coordinate system; to evaluate the technology for fixing TGBM's; and to malce recommendations to the Commission on Mean Sea Level and Tides (IAPSO) of a strategy for coordinated global fixing ofTGBM's and for making the results centrally·available. To meet these goals, the committee met for a several day session at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in November, 1988. From this workshop came a series of technical conclusions, plus specific recommendations to achieve the goals of the committee. Included in these discussions were Very Long Baseline Interferometry, Satellite Laser Ranging, Lunar Laser Ranging, Global Positioning System, and Absolute Gravity Meters, as well as mechanisms for logging and distributing the results from these systems, perhaps via the Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) in Britain.

    Seismic reflection, magnetic, and gravity profiles of the eastern Atlantic continental margin and adjacent deep-sea floor. I. Cape Francis (South Africa) to Congo Canyon (Republic of Zaire)
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1972-12) Uchupi, Elazar ; Emery, Kenneth O.
    One of the programs of the International Decade of Ocean Exploration (!DOE) is a four-year geophysical and geological study of the Eastern Atlantic Continental Margin and the adjacent deep·sea floor. It was designed to learn more of the date and manner by which Africa became separated from South America and the subsequent history and development of the African continental margin and adjoining deep-sea floor. The traverses also serve to outline large sedimentary basins that may be potential reservoirs of petroleum. Subsequent more detailed exploration and eventual exploitation of these basins may be conducted or controlled by the adjacent African nations under whose jurisdiction the areas belong. This report is a compilation of the geophysical traverses made from Cape Francis (South Africa) to the Congo Canyon (Republic of Zaire) during the first half of 1972.
