From: InstrumentRequest@iris.edu To: jim@iris.edu,menke@ldeo.columbia.edu Subject: Gulf of Suez Active Imaging PASSCAL Instrument Request Project Name: Gulf of Suez Active Imaging Todays Date: 27 Nov 01 Institutions: Michael Steckler, William Menke, Spahr Webb and Several Others LAMONT-DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY Palisades NY 10964 USA Title: Lithospheric extension in the Gulfs of Suez and Acuba and the northern Red Sea: Integrated seismic and geologic perspectives Short description of project: Active seismic experiment to image crustal structure, Moho depth, Pn anisotropy in the northern Red Sea. Airgin shots from RV Ewing will be recorded on both land and ocean bottom siesmometers. Duration of shootong will be about 2 weeks. NOTE: This experiment overlaps with the already funded Gulf of Suez Passive experiment, to which PASSCAL has already committed BB instruments. Is Experiment Currently Funded? no Funding agency: NSF/Margins Date equipment needed in field: To be scheduled Date equipment will leave field: 1 month later Location of field work: Egypt & Saudi Arabia Equipment Number and type of instruments: 100 recorders capable of continuous recording at 100 samples/s for a 2-week interval. 72A-07's would be fine. Number and types of sensors: 100 3-component short-period (2-Hz) or intermediate period sensors. Power Supply: solar Field Computer Support Needed: yes PASSCAL field personnel: no Ancillary equipment: 3 EHT's Approximate amount of data: 100 Gby Environmental conditions expected in the field: Desert conditions Latitudes and longitudes of a box enclosing field area: northern red sea region 25-30N, 40-40E Contact: William Menke LDEO 61 Route 9W Palisades NY 10964 USA Email: menke@ldeo.columbia.edu Phone: 845-365-8438 Fax: 845-365-8150
