Processed Acoustic Backscatter Grids (NetCDF:GMT format) derived from ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0804 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0804 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Fernando Martinez). These data files are of NetCDF Grid format and include gridded Acoustic Backscatter data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Hydrothermal Activity at the Lau Integrated Studies Site, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE07-32536.
