ABSTRACT 


A detailed shipboard magnetic survey of a 56,000 square 
mile area south of the Hawaiian Islands has revealed large 
magnetic lineations. The largest of these lineations extends 
for more than 270 miles across the entire survey area. 
These magnetic features suggest the presence of major 
geologic faults in this region.

I, INTRODUCTION 


In June and July 1961, a continuous profile, marine 
magnetic survey was conducted south of the Hawaiian Islands, 
between latitudes 17°45' and 21915' North, longitudes 158° 
15' and 163°15' West. (See Index Chart, Figure 1.) This 
survey was conducted by the USS REHOBOTH (AGS~50) as part 
of the 0. S. Naval Oceanographic Office* Project 0-162, 
Equatorial Pacific Survey. The general purpose of the 
survey was to collect data relevant to the physical, chemi- 
cal, and biological aspects of the ocean environment in 
this area. 

This report is concerned primarily with the geomag- 
netics phase of the survey. Bathymetric data are included 
to illustrate certain points of correlation and interpretation. 
The analyses and interpretation of data presented here are 
limited to the identification and description of major 
features. This has been done in order to make the survey 
results available to other interested investigators at the 


earliest date. 


*In accordance with Public Law 87-533 effective 10 July 1962, 
the U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office was redesignated as the U. S. 
Naval Oceanographic Office, 


II. SURVEY OPERATIONS 


A. Conduct of Survey 


The main survey was conducted in a rectangular area cover- 
ing 56,000 square miles. Survey lines were run in an east-west 
direction at a spacing of five to seven miles, progressing from 
south to north. (See Track Chart, Figure 2.) Eight develop- 
ment surveys were conducted in locations where seamounts occur. 
(See Index Chart, Figure 1.) The development~area survey lines, 
in general, were from five to fifteen miles long and were run in 
both north-south and east-west directions. The average ship's 
speed when surveying was 12 knots. Bathymetric and magnetic 
data were collected simultaneously along all survey lines. 

Throughout the survey area, the ship's position was fixed 
by Loran-A. The fix interval was normally 30 minutes (10 minutes 
on development surveys). Fix accuracies ranged from +% mile to 
+2 miles. The most accurate fixes were in the south-central part 
of the area and the least accurate in the southwestern part. 

B. Instrumentation 

Magnetic total intensity measurements were made with a Varian 
nuclear resonance magnetometer, model V-4931, modified for use 
as a marine survey instrument. The sensor unit was towed approxi- 
mately 500 feet astern of the ship to pedeee the effect of the 
ship's magnetic field. Because of equipment design, magnetic 
data were recorded as "magnetometer counts", a unit of measurement 


2 


inversely related to the magnetic field intensity. These 
units were recorded in analog form on a strip<chart recorder 
and in digital form on a digital printer. The sensitivity 
of the measurements was approximately +1 gamma (1 gamma = 
0.00001 oersted). 

Bathymetric data were obtained with a Precision Depth 


Recorder (Mk V) and an AN/UQN 1-D Sonar Sound Set. 


IIL. DATA PROCESSING 


The magnetic data were converted from magnetometer counts 
to absolute values of total magnetic intensity in gammas. These 
values were then plotted on a 1:500,000 scale survey track chart. 
A magnetic total intensity contour chart was constructed from 
this plot using a contour interval of 50 gammas (Figure 3). A 
bathymetric contour chart (Figure 4) was also constructed on a 
1:500,000 scale using a contour interval of 100 fathoms. Total 
magnetic intensity and bathymetric charts were prepared in a 
similar manner for each of the development areas. Because the 
development-area magnetic charts were prepared independently of 
the large area chart, there are some differences in the contouring. 

No corrections to the magnetic data were made for temporal 
variations of the magnetic field. Honolulu Magnetic Observatory 
records show that the daily fluctuation rarely exceeded 25 gammas 
during the survey period. No major magnetic disturbances were 
noted. 

To more clearly identify the trends and character of the 
magnetic anomalies, a Residual Magnetic Intensity Contour Chart 
was constructed (Figure 5). This residual chart was prepared 
by subtracting the regional magnetic intensity values from the 


observed total intensity values. 


Regional intensity values were computed by averaging 
the 9 observed values of total intensity at the center, 
corners, and mid-points of the sides of a 60-mile square. 
This average value was then plotted at the center of the 
60-mile square. Regional intensity values were computed 
in this manner at 10-mile intervals on a north-south, 
east-west grid. These values were then contoured and 
graphically smoothed to produce the Computed Regional 
Magnetic Intensity Contour Chart (Figure 6). 

Because bathymetric and magnetic data were collected 
simultaneously, the bathymetric charts and magnetic charts 
may be used for direct comparison of the data. No sound- 
velocity or other corrections have been applied to the 


bathymetric data. 


IV. SURVEY RESULTS AND ANALYSES 


As a result of this survey, the geomagnetic field and the 
bathymetry of a 56,000 square mile area of the Pacific Ocean 
have been charted in detail. The magnetic total intensity con- 
tours are shown in Figure 3, and tne bathymetric contours in 
Pigure 4. 

The most significant of the magnetic features present is 
the northeast-southwest trending anomaly extending approximately 
270 miles across the entire area. This feature trends along a 
very straight line having a strike of approximately North 75° 
East. It varies in width from approximately 15 to 45 miles, 
and it becomes more complex in its northeastern extremities. 

Profiles A-A' through F-F' (Figures 7-12) were constructed 
perpendicular to this northeast-southwest feature. (See Figures 
3 and 4 for profile locations.) These profiles, as well as the 
contour charts, show that a bathymetric feature of small relief 
parallels the magnetic anomaly. This bathymetric feature be- 
comes more pronounced to the southwest, where there is a maxi- 
mum relief of approximately 1200 feet. 

Using empirical slope techniques, estimates of the depth 
to the top of the magnetic source were made on each of the con- 
structed magnetic profiles. These calculations, as shown in 
Figure 13, indicate a deepening of the magnetic source to the 


northeast. 


Other magnetic lineations present in the area may be seen 
most clearly on the Residual Magnetic Intensity Contour Chart, 
Figure 5. (The negative residuals on this chart have been shaded 
to aid in illustrating the trends.) In the northwest corner of 
the survey area, a lineation occurs with a strike parallel to 
that of the major magnetic lineation. South of the major 
feature, the lineated patterns are not as pronounced and occur 
at angles of 35°9-45° to the main feature. Nearly all of the 
large seamounts in the area are located along these southern 
lineations, Strongly negative magnetic anomalies occur over 
these seamounts--more negative than should be expected at this 
geomagnetic inclination of 33° north. 

The track charts, magnetic contour charts, and bathymetric 
contour charts of the eight development survey areas are pre~ 
sented in Figures 14 through 37. Preliminary analysis of 
magnetic data over the seamounts was performed utilizing a com- 
puter program originated by Victor Vacquier of the Scripps Insti- 
tution of Oceanography. With this program, estimates of the 
intensity and direction of magnetic polarization of the seamounts 
in development areas 1, 2, and 4 were determined. These compu- 
tations have shown that the three seamounts analyzed are reversely 
magnetized. Analysis of the other development areas is planned. 

Examination of the magnetic and bathymetric data from this 
‘survey suggests that a major geologic fault occurs along the 


main magnetic lineation. The magnetic patterns north of this 


lineation appear to differ from those south of the lineation. 
This suggests further that the fault separates areas of dif- 
ferent geologic character. The fault appears to be a strike- 
slip fault. However, the direction and amount of movement 
along this fault are difficult to determine. 

From the contour charts, it appears probable that the 
major magnetic feature extends beyond the limits of the sur- 
vey area. If projected to the northeast, this lineation would 
pass through the Kalohi and Pailolo channels south of the 
island of Molokai. The feature is most pronounced to the west 


and may extend for some distance in that direction. 


V. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS 


This detailed survey south of the Hawaiian Islands has 
revealed extensive lineated magnetic anomalies. One of these 
anomalies strikes approximately North 75° East and extends 
for more than 270 miles across the entire survey area. North 
of this anomaly, the magnetic lineations are parallel to it. 
South of this line however, the lineated features strike at 
angles of approximately 35°-45° to the major lineation. All 
of the large seamounts in the survey area occur south of this 
magnetic anomaly. Therefore, this anomaly may lie along a 
major fault zone separating areas of different geologic 
character. Estimates of the depth to the magnetic source of 
this anomaly indicate the source becomes deeper to the north- 


east.
