Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Central America Subduction Zone acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0005 (2000)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0005 conducted in 2000 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kirk McIntosh). 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): Structure of the Nicaragua/Costa Rica Subduction Zone: A Framework for the Subduction Factory and Seismogenic Zone Initiatives, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE99-05355 and OCE99-09859.\r
