This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition WEST04MV conducted in 1994 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Michael McCartney). These data files are of MBSystem format and include 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Transpacific Hydrographic Section Along 17 degree S (WOCE Hydrographic Program Line P21), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE92-05119.
