Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the Pacific Ocean during the Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN261 (2011)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM302 Multibeam Sonar system during Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN261 conducted in 2011 (Chief Scientist: Dr. William Wilcock). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry, Acoustic Backscatter, 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 2.4. Data were acquired while the Thomas G. Thompson was in transit.
