Volcanic eruptions: contribution to magnetism in deep-sea sediments downwind from the azores.
The mean bulk magnetic susceptibility (x) and the intensity of remanent magnetization (J) of deep-sea sediments vary systematically, but in an opposite sense, for a distance of 600 kilometers downwind from the Azores. Beyond the distance both J and x diminish for at least another 600 kilometers. The dominant type of magnetic particle in the sediments is interpreted to be atmospherically transported volcanic dust.
