Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and in the western Atlantic Ocean during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0102 (2001)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0102 conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Brian Tucholke). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Sidescan, Acoustic Backscatter, 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 2.0. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Multichannel Seismic Investigation of Velocity Structure of Megamullions on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE99-87004.
