Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along the East Pacific Rise (EPR) during the Knorr expedition KN182-13 (2006)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN182-13 conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Donald Forsyth). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry, and Acoustic Backscatter 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): OCE03-27283.
