EW9302 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired in the Atlantic Ocean during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9302 (1993)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9302 conducted in 1993 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Delia Oppo). 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 2.1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): ODP Site Survey Rockall Plateau and East Flank of Reykjanes Ridge: Drift Evolution and High Resolution Paleoceanography, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE92-17921 and OCE92-18673.
