EW0307 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired off the coast of Norway in the North Atlantic Ocean during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0307 (2003)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS2 Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0307 conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. W. Steven Holbrook). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry, Acoustic Backscatter, and Sidescan 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 2.0. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Methane Release in Submarine Landslides: A Seismic, Sedimentological, and Geochemical Study of the Storegga Slide, Offshore Norway, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-21366.
