Geophysical data profiles from single track surveys at sea are subjected to spectral studies. A two dimensional sea floor with a recurring structural pattern seems a model able to explain the computed results. In testing the model, the most important quantity to be determined from the spectra was the interpeak interval. Spectral methods also are shown to be tools capable of investigating more complex geophysical theories.
