<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>originator</b>
reads (longitude, latitude, height, radius, crustal_age)
records from <i>infiles</i> [or standard input] and uses the
given Absolute Plate Motion (APM) stage poles and the list
of hotspot locations to determine the most likely origin
(hotspot) for each seamount. It does so by calculating
flowlines back in time and determining the closest approach
to all hotspots. The output consists of the input records
with four additional fields added for each of the
<i>n_hs</i> closest hotspots. The four fields are the
hotspot id (e.g., HWI), the stage id of the flowline segment
that came closest, the pseudo-age of the seamount, and the
closest distance to the hotspot (in km). See option
<b>&minus;:</b> on how to read (latitude, longitude,height,
radius, crustal_age) files.</p>

applications only need the first 4 columns which thus
represents the minimal hotspot information record type. The
abbreviation may be maximum 3 characters long. The id must
be an integer from 1-32. The positional uncertainty of the
hotspot is given by r (in km). The t_off and t_on variables
are used to indicate the active time-span of the hotspot.
The create, fit, and plot indicators are either Y or N and
are used by some programs to indicate if the hotspot is
included in the ID-grids used to determine rotations, if the
hotspot chain will be used to determine rotations, and if
the hotspot should be included in various plots. The name is
a 32-character maximum text string with the full hotspot
name. Blank lines and records whose first column contains #
will be ignored.</p>

<h2>COORDINATES</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Data
coordinates are assumed to be geodetic and will
automatically be converted to geocentric before spherical
rotations are performed. We convert back to geodetic
coordinates for output. Note: If your data already are
geocentric, you can avoid the conversion by using
--ELLIPSOID=sphere.</p>
