Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during the Atlantis expedition AT21-03 (2012)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Multibeam Sonar system during Atlantis expedition AT21-03 conducted in 2012 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Deborah Smith). 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): Seismicity of the Equatorial Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Its Large Offset Transforms.
