Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0203 (2002)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS2 Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0203 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Simon Klemperer). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): US-Japan Collaborative Research: Multi-Scale Seismic Imaging of the Mariana Subduction Factory, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE00-01798, OCE00-01938, OCE00-01956, and OCE00-02878. This data was cited by Gunther et al., 2006.
