KM1005 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired near the Mariana NW Rota Volcano during the Kilo Moana expedition KM1005 (2010)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM1002 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM1005 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. William Chadwick). 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 2.5. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Strombolian eruptions, magma degassing, and hydrothermal discharge at an active submarine arc volcano, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE07-51776.
