KN162-11 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along the Central Indian Ridge Spreading Center near the Gulf of Aden during the Knorr expedition KN162-11 (2001)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN162-11 conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. William Johns). 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): Red Sea Outflow Experiment (REDSOX).
