South Perth Basin Marine Survey 80/81: Geophysical Data Explanatory Notes

South Perth Basin marine survey data collected between July 9 and October 14, 1988, departing from Perth and finishing at Adelaide. The report summarizes processing techniques applied to non-seismic geophysical data from BMR Marine Surveys 80 and 81, which were part of BMR Project No 121.14. Each survey lasted one month with a month between for crew change and maintenance.

Use Cases

• Study historical marine geophysical survey methodologies based on the described processing techniques.
• Analyze geological features of the South Perth Basin based on the non-seismic data referenced.
• Research the marine survey operations of the Bureau of Mineral Resources (BMR) based on the project details.

Strengths

• Specific temporal coverage from July 9 to October 14, 1988.
• Clear geographic scope covering a marine survey from Perth to Adelaide.
• Documented as part of a defined project, BMR Project No 121.14.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to a 1988 survey.
