Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Juan de Fuca Spreading Center acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0207 (2002)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS2 Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0207 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Suzanne Carbotte). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, and Swath Bathymetry data and were processed by the GMRT Team using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software as part of the GMRT Synthesis effort. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): A MCS Investigation to Study Axial Crustal Structure and Alteration of Upper Crust at the Juan de Fuca Spreading Center, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE00-02488, OCE00-02551, and OCE00-02600.
