Proposed OBS lines
Proposed
OBS lines
P1: - too long / too many deployments, total 36 (thus compromising other lines)
[10 OBS in Tagus, 6 on and S of thrust belt, 3 overlap SISMAR OBS]
- very deep water (very long recovery time) Tagus 5000m, HAP 4800m, SAP 4200m
- little new info on crustal types (except perhaps Tagus)
- 50% of line has no seismicity, and is distant from OBS-BB network
Proposed
OBS lines
P2: - shortest distance between the SW Iberian (continental) margin and the NW
Moroccan (continental margin) crossing thin crust of uncertain type
- passes along existing high quality MCS profile (pre-stack depth migrated)
- crosses Marq. Pombal and the toe of the accretionary wedge (potentially seismogenic structures)
