Abstract:
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS2 Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0301 conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Joe Haxel). 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 2.3. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Hydroacoustic Monitoring of Seismicity in the North Atlantic, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE01-36808 and OCE01-37164.
