EW9803 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired along the Puerto Rico Trench and Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9803 (1998)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9803 conducted in 1998 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Nathan Bangs). 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): Structure, Tectonics and Sediment Flow into the Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE96-17751.
