| Description | Working file entitled 'Gravity & bathymetry (4)', relating to the paper: Watts, A B & D McKenzie, B Parsons & M Roufosse, "The relationship between gravity and bathymetry in the Pacific Ocean", 'Geophysical Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society', vol 83 (1985), pp263-298.
The contents of the file is generally based around correspondence with fellow academics concerning McKenzie's research for his paper, and includes: Vincent L Pisacane, Applied Physics Laboratory, John Hopkins University, Maryland, USA, on satellite-to-satellite tracking to investigate the continental gravity field, August-September 1980; Anton Ziolkowski, Mining Department, National Coal Board, London, England, to David Gubbins, Department of Geodesy & Geophysics, University of Cambridge, England, enclosing a paper he wrote on differentiating the acceleration impulse responses of short period seismometers, June 1976; letters from Barry Parsons, Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, describing the differences and problems using each institutions' FOURT computing systems, GRM Science Conference, data for their joint paper, gravity maps from SEASAT, the Venus Radar Mapper project, geoid anomalies of the Indian Ocean, April 1983-November 1984; geoid contour maps of the central Pacific Ocean generated from SEASAT data, [1984], and instructions for using SEASAT altimeter tape data, 14 March 1983; copy letter from McKenzie to Anthony 'Tony' Watts, on the differences between filtered and unfiltered gravity and bathymetry profile data, 21 October [1983]; letter from Anthony 'Tony' Watts enclosing charts, plots and profiles of geoid anomalies, bathymetry, topography and altimetry of the Pacific Ocean, August [1982]; manuscript notes, equations and computer generated calculations and plots, [1981-1984]; offprints and copies of academic papers by others on related subjects, 1982-1983. |
