South Perth Basin Marine Geophysical Survey Explanatory Notes

Australian marine geophysical data from the South Perth Basin was collected during two one-month surveys in 1988, departing Perth and finishing at Adelaide. The Australian Ocean Data Network provides explanatory notes detailing the processing techniques applied to non-seismic data from these surveys. The data originates from BMR Marine Survey 80 and 81, conducted between July and October 1988.

Use Cases

• Analyzing processed non-seismic geophysical data types described in the explanatory notes for basin characterization.
• Correlating survey findings from BMR Project No 121.14 with other regional geological datasets.
• Studying the temporal sequence and operational details of the two survey legs between Perth and Adelaide.

Strengths

• Data collection spanned a defined temporal range from July to October 1988.
• Survey covered a specific geographic transect from Perth to Adelaide.
• Documentation includes details on processing techniques for non-seismic data.

Limitations

• The primary data consists of explanatory notes (PDF/HTML), not the raw or processed numerical datasets.
• Data is over 35 years old, which may limit relevance for contemporary dynamic studies.
• Specific data formats, column names, and row counts for any underlying tabular data are unknown.
