Quantitative Data on the Abundances and Distribution of Seamounts in the Pacific Ocean

摘要

The purpose of this report is to outline the methods used in the course of work on 'Statistical Studies of Oceanic Volcanoes.' It includes a description of the procedures used in the study, a description of the data base of Pacific Ocean seamounts which was compiled as part of the study, and descriptions of FORTRAN programs which were written to facilitate data analysis. In addition, this report contains examples of data tables and graphs of raw data to show their format and contents. This report is intended to facilitate use of the seamount data base by others and to provide the materials necessary for implementing use of the data base for purposes other than those of the present study. Complete listings of the data and plots are available from the author. (Author)
