  2. Relationship between depth and age in the North Pacific Ocean J. K. Hillier and A. B. Watts

  3. Depth versus age plot of previous estimates of regional depth in the North Pacific. Thick dashed line is empirical fit (square root then exponential) of Schroeder [1984] for the North Pacific. Data of Sclater et al. [1971], extended to >80 Ma by Parsons and Sclater [1977] for the North Pacific are shown as dots joined by a thick solid line. Other bold line is mean over every 1 Myr of the SYNBAPS data compilation [Renkin and Sclater, 1988] (all qualities of sediment data) with 2s (standard deviations) shown as light gray. Thinner lines are examples of determinations using other statistical estimators: 5 Myr mean of DBDB-5 from Stein and Stein [1993, Figure 7] (dash dotted), North Pacific; 10 Ma mode with age of ship track data and ETOPO-5 from Morgan and Smith [1992, Figure 2] (short dashed and dots, respectively), whole Pacific; and median with time of a regional (400 km) spatial median of North Pacific ship tracks with and without sediment unloading correction (two long-dashed lines) [Smith, 1990; Stein and Stein, 1993]. Note the similarity between curves produced using these statistical estimators. Dark gray shading is the most common depths outlined by a contour that encloses approximately two thirds of the ship track data [NGDC, 2003a] points after Renkin and Sclater [1988]. Bins are 100 m by 1 Myr. Inset shows the raw data, in this case the modes of ship track data from the NGDC catalogue [NGDC, 2003a] taken over 0.1 0.1 (blockmode of GMT [Wessel and Smith, 1998]).
