GLOR04MV Bathymetry:Swath
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the South Pacific Ocean near the Magellan Seamounts during the Melville expedition GLOR04MV (1993)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition GLOR04MV conducted in 1993 (Chief Scientist: Dr. David Sandwell). These data files are of MBSystem format and include 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): The Cretaceous History of the South Pacific Thermal and Isotopic Anomaly: The Magellan Seamounts, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE91-02183.
