Abstract:
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0817 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Tara Clemente). 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 as part of the project(s): CMORE - Survey of Underwater Plastic and Ecosystem Response - Hawaii to California (CMORE-SUPER-HI-CAT), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): MCB04-24599.
