Multichannel data acquisition; AcousticAbstract
Multichannel data acquisition has been a keystone of 7 ONR sponsored Arctic acoustic research programs conducted jointly by
WHOI and MIT investigators from 1978 through 1989. This report describes the status and capability of the most recent system
developed at WHOI for the purpose of acquiring digital data from up to 64 channels at sampling rates up to 20 kH per channel
with data bandwidth to 5120 Hz. ONR funded the development of and use of this system and its prototye for 2 Arctic field
experiments, PRUDEX 87 and CEAREX 89. It was most recently use during the Heard Island Feasibility Experiment in
February 1991. Of note are the auto-gain ranging capabilty offering a dynamic measurement range of greater than 120 dB, the
continuous storage capability of up to 200,000 samples per second to a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) device, typically
optical disk, and easy expandability with additional identical chanels connected in parallel.

Constraints on melt content of off-axis magma lenses at the East Pacific Rise from analysis of 3-D seismic amplitude variation with angle of incidence
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-06-28)We use 3-D multichannel seismic data to form partial angle P wave stacks and apply amplitude variation with angle (AVA) crossplotting to assess melt content and melt distribution within two large midcrustal off-axis magma ... -
Crustal magmatic system beneath the east pacific rise (8 degrees 20 to 10 degrees 10N): Implications for tectonomagmatic segmentation and crustal melt transport at fast-spreading ridges
(American Geophysical Union, 2018-11-06)Detailed images of the midcrustal magmatic system beneath the East Pacific Rise (8°20′–10°10′N) are obtained from 2‐D and 3‐D‐swath processing of along axis seismic data and are used to characterize properties of the axial ... -
Crustal thickness and Moho character of the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise from 9°42′N to 9°57′N from poststack-migrated 3-D MCS data
(John Wiley & Sons, 2014-03-18)We computed crustal thickness (5740 ± 270 m) and mapped Moho reflection character using 3-D seismic data covering 658 km2 of the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise (EPR) from 9°42′N to 9°57′N. Moho reflections are imaged ...
