Cruise report 10SIRENA 2 / D274 Cruise RRS Discovery Govan, Sept, 12 th – Ponta Delgada, Oct, 1 st , 2003----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------S2 S4 S5 S1Screenshot of the spectrograms of the signals recorded by four Sirena hydrophones (time increases frombottom to top). The signals originate from an earthquake swarm on the Reykjanes Ridge• all spectrograms are plotted in the range 0-40 Hz• the channels have been synchronized so that events originating from the same location (i.e. the swarm’slocation, as determined by the picking of four conspicuous similar spectra on the four channels) appearsynchronous• times stamps are separated by 10 minutes: the whole plot therefore shows about 30 minutes of data• the periodic “dot signals” on the leftmost spectrogram (with frequencies close to 20 Hz)are whale calls• the high frequency noise on S1 is probably due to small ship(s) passing by the hydrophone• finally, the light red lines are the results of the manual picking of events, which allow to compute thelocation of the earthquake epicentersI-2 Along-track data recorded along transits between mooring sitesSingle-beam bathymetry, magnetics and gravity data were continuously recorded along the transittracks between mooring sites.Three additional more specific along-track surveys were also conducted (see track chart at thebeginning of section III below). The first two (close to site S3 and between site S1 and the Azoresislands) were devoted to improving the detailed geometry of magnetic isochrons 13 and 6). Thethird was sailed west-northwest and east of Terceira Is. to survey active trans-tensional structures,one of which was the location of a major earthquake in 1999 (the Sereata Ridge).Blow-ups of track charts, comments on along-track data processing can be found in section IVbelow.Finally line plots of along-track depths, magnetics and gravity are displayed as appendix..
