TN263 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the Gulf of Alaska and along the Cascadia Subduction Zone during the Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN263 (2011)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM302 Multibeam Sonar system during Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN263 conducted in 2011 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Nancy Kachel). 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 2.4. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Ecosystem and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (Eco-FOCI).
