Abstract:
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition BMRG06MV conducted in 1996 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kevin Johnson). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Mantle Composition and Ridge Dynamics on the Southeast Indian Ridge Near the Amsterdam/St. Paul Hotspot, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE94-15948.
