Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9606 (1996)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9606 conducted in 1996 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Brian Tucholke). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Off-Axis Structure of Oceanic Crust Within Ridge Segments and at Intervening Small Non-Transform/Offsets: Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE95-03561.
