Abstract:
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition WEST13MV conducted in 1995 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kenneth Coale). 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): Method Development for Unenclosed Mesoscale Iron Enrichment Experiments and Galapagos Plume Studies, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): N00014-90-J-4129 and OCE92-17518.
