Structure and application of extremely large geophysical data bases. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6345816
A unique data-base design has been devised to handle massive quantities of gridded geophysical data and to support a variety of marine geologic applications. The structure of the data base allows for storage of mean grid-point values with covariables (number of observations, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation). The Geographic Review and Cursor Editing (GRACE) program has been written for data-base manipulation. A limited fine mesh option in the data base permits increased resolution in special study areas. The data-base design has been applied to marine bathymetric, magnetic, and gravity data.
