KN189-04 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along Reykjanes Ridge Spreading Center the during the Knorr expedition KN189-04 (2007)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 3012-P1 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN189-04 conducted in 2007 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Richard Hey). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry, Sidescan, 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): Investigation of Reykjanes Ridge Evolution Near Iceland, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE04-52132.
