Testing the Dynamic Time Warping algorithm in the Seafloor Spreading Rate Problem

We offer to apply the powerful Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm to find the spreading rate variation by comparing profiles of marine magnetic anomalies with the synthetic field constructed by the magnetic polarity reference scale. For the fixed spreading rate and the given interval of the polarity scale we generate the synthetic magnetic fields which we compare with the field obtained for temporal variations of seafloor spreading rate.
