Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the northern Pacific Ocean during the Melville expedition MGLN44MV (2008)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition MGLN44MV conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Woody Sutherland). 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 while the Melville was in transit.
