Abstract :
Underway marine geophysical data (navigation, depth, Sea Beam, magnetics and gravity) collected on Scripps cruises are processed and displayed at sea or on shore on Vax computers under the Unix BSD 4.3 operating system. An online master abstracts file allows users to search a database containing more than 1300 cruise legs from Scripps and other sources by geographic region or data type. A description is given of data management under Unix, single-cruise-leg processing, multicruise data management, Sea Beam data processing and archiving, and plotting displays
