The NW-SE trending 260 km long profile, which passed through Palestine, Israel and Jordan, crossed the rift in the Arava valley about 70 km south of the southern end of the Dead Sea. During the experiment 13 shots, including two quarry blasts, were recorded by 99 three-component instruments spaced 1-4.5 km apart along the whole length of the profile and 125 vertical component geophone groups with 100 m spacing along a 12.5 km long section of the profile in the Arava valley. Both the P- and S-wavefields were successfully recorded. First results will be presented. The results will provide a picture of the P- and S-velocity structures across the rift and together with older mainly N-S trending seismic wide-angle profiles in the region will constrain models of the formation of the Jordan-Dead Sea Rift (Transform).
