- These data were compiled by Gregory Neumann at the MIT Department of
Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, and
at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Laboratory for Terrestrial Physics,
from cruises MRTN10, MRTN13, PLUME04, PLUME05 (T.Washington) and
KN145L17 in 1984, 1985, 1990, and 1995.
