Segment E4 Sea Beam bathymetry, using color scale optimized to show local axial pattern. Far left panel shows total fractures digitized from DSL-120 sidescan data, left panel shows along-axis variability in DMn (red) and ∆NTU (blue) from the sidescan-mounted SUAVE, and vertically integrated ∆NTU (yellow) in 0.03° bins from the CTDO tow-yos.
