KN205 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the western Atlantic Ocean during the Knorr expedition KN205 (2012)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 3012-P1 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN205 conducted in 2012 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Craig Lee). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, 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 2.5. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Scalable Lateral Mixing and Coherent Turbulence (LatMix).
