SASS BATHYMETRY—GORDA RISE Z b «> ' ' '^ h «> bDb b b ° b " b "^ b b bt. b "" , b" ^ "' b b --1 - O -., Q. 0 I -T- 20 40 1^ 80 100 120 AZIMUTH (degrees) 140 I 160 ui 180 Figure 6-6 Distribution of spectral parameters versus azimuth for Gorda Rise spreading center bathymetry shown In Figure 6-4 and 6-5. Spectral slope parameter (above) shows no appar- ent functional relationship to azimuth as predicted by theory (notice that the mean slope Is -1,24, well below , which would correspond to a Markov process). The Intercept parameter (below) clearly shows the effect of seafloor anisotropy and generally conforms to the sinu- soidal model. Model parameters are as follows: mean ampli- tude = m, amplitude of sinusoid = m, azimuth of maximum energy = 115' (perpendicular to observed strike). 92.
