KM0908 Backscatter:Acoustic, Bathymetry:Swath, Sidescan
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the western Pacific Ocean during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0908 (2009)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0908 conducted in 2009 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Alexander Shor). 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 2.2. Data were acquired while the Kilo Moana was in transit. This data was cited by Gardner et al., 2013.
