Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the eastern Pacific Ocean during the Kilo Moana expedition KM1002 (2010)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM122 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM1002 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Timothy McGovern). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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 while the Kilo Moana was in transit.
