KN161-06 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the South Atlantic Ocean along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during the Knorr expedition KN161-06 (2000)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN161-06 conducted in 2000 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Ledwell). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry, Sidescan, and Acoustic Backscatter 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 2.0. Funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE99-06685.
