PACLARK 2 Geoscientific Data 1988
This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during PACLARK 2 (FR01/88) cruise on RV Franklin 8-28 January 1988 in Western Woodlark Basin and Goodenough Bay,Papua New Guinea. These data include logged station coordinates and information for CTD/hydrocasts, dredges, sediment cores, bathymetric surveys and camera tows. Please see the associated cruise report for details. Cruise FR 01/88 was undertaken to locate evidence of hydrothermal activity in the Western Woodlark Basin (east of Papua New Guinea) and Goodenough Bay, and to map submarine geology in an area of ocean ridge propagation into a continental margin. Survey methods included bathymetric profiling, magnetometer surveys, dredgers and gravity corers, a deep-tow camera system, and CTD casts with other associated instrumentation including a transmissometer. Numerous rock, sediment and water samples were collected for laboratory study. Related cruises are FR 02/86, FR 08/91, HMAS Cook - PACLARK III and RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and MIR submersibles - SUPACLARK.

ATTRIBUTE STATEMENT:
Some operations have been entered using corrected values from Dr R.Binns (November 2007). These values may therefore differ from those given in the report.
Some records corrected by Dr R.Binns in March 1988 have been added where the equivalent reviewed record from 2007 is missing – the 1988 version corrected values are noted in the comments field.
Sediment core operations starting with identifier “PC” (eg PC-1) were taken with a piston corer, cores with identifier “S” (eg S-3) were taken with a gravity corer.
Sediment core operations starting with identifier “PC” (eg PC-1) were taken with a piston corer, cores with identifier “S” (eg S-3) were taken with a gravity corer.
All coordinates are in WGS84, degrees and decimal minutes. All times are in local time zone (UT+10).

Navigation abbreviations are given as follows:
Nav code Description
GPS Global Positioning Satellite, 3 or 4 satellites
SF Transit Satfix, or within minutes of satfix
SF Close to satfix, subject to small DR error
DR Satellite dead reckoning
DRA Satellite dead reckoning adjusted to subsequent satfixes (check)
SG Satellite DR adjusted to GPS nearby
RB Radar bearings on Moresby Seamount buoy
LR Radar bearings on land points
LRA Land radar adjusted to GPS
LRS Land radar adjusted to satfixes
EST Estimated positions generally based on adjusting land radar to fit other GPS bathymetry dat, or in some cases by presuming a best ships track when no navigation had been logged
