AT07-12 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired at the East Pacific Rise at 9 degrees North during the Atlantis expedition AT07-12 (2002)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Atlantis expedition AT07-12 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Hans Schouten). 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. Funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE98-19261.
