The underway observations comprise readings of shipboard gravimeter, towed 

 magnetometer, echo-sounder (bathymetry), sparker or boomer (continuous seismic 

 profiling), and thermistor chain (continuous temperature recording). 



In the' Red Sea, the tracks cross and intercept the seismic refraction pro- 

 files made by the ATLANTIS and VEMA in 1958. Four or five heat flow measure- 

 ments are planned.
