Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the Caribbean Sea during the Atlantis expedition AT18-16 (2012)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM122 Multibeam Sonar system during Atlantis expedition AT18-16 conducted in 2012 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Christopher German). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, 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 as part of the project(s): Venting Outside the Box - Hydrothermal Circulation and Chemosynthetic Life.
