TN246 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the Southern Ocean during the Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN246 (2010)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM300 Multibeam Sonar system during Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN246 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Ledwell). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, 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): DIMES: Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing Experiment in the Southern Ocean - Cruise 3, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE06-22825.
