Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired at Pito Deep Rift during the Atlantis expedition AT11-23 (2005)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Atlantis expedition AT11-23 conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Jeffrey Karson). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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 2.1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Structure and Composition of Fast-Spread EPR Oceanic Crust Exposed at Pito Deep , and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-22154.
