Title:

Processed Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan and Swath Bathymetry Data (EM300) acquired during RRS James Cook expedition JC142 (2016)

Abstract:

This data set was acquired with a Kongsberg EM300 Multibeam Sonar during RRS James Cook expedition JC142 conducted in 2016 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Bramley Murton). These data files are of MBSystem-compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan and Swath Bathymetry data that were processed after acquisition. This data was processed by The Nippon Foundation - GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project and was included in the Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) Synthesis (version 4.4.1).
