Purpose
Abstract During SO163 the Pacific continental margin off Costa Rica was surveyed using a variety of tools. Leg 2 covered numerous seismic and seismological experiments and a water sampling programme. Though the EM120 was used continuously during SO163 it was not the focus of the cruise and the responsible party has provided no further acquisition information.
