Bathymetry of a region (PORL-421-2) North of the Hawaiian Ridge

Naugler, F.P.

NOAA Tech. Report ERL82-POL1 (1968)


A bathymetric map of a 665,000 km area centered about 450 km north of Kauai Island, Hawaii, has been prepared from echo soundings obtained on ESSA’s SEAMAP survey. It is the first of a proposed series of maps based on the SEAMAP data and was prepared to support a geophysical study of the north central Pacific Ocean Basin underway at the Pacific Oceanographic Research Laboratory. The map includes the southern portion of the Musicians Seamount Province and sections of the Hawaiian Ridge and the Murray Fracture Zone. Several pronounced east-west ridges and a band of northeast-southwest trending lineations add to the complex structure of this region.
