Abstract:
This raw sidescan and sub-bottom data set was collected with an Edgetech 2205 sonar/sub-bottom system on MBARI's Mapping AUV (MAUV2) on missions 20210801m2, 20210805m1, 20210806m1, 20210816m1, and 20230822m2. The AUV survey missions were conducted during R/V Rachel Carson cruises along the Cascadia Margin. The data files are in JSF format (compatible with MB-System as mbio format 132) and contain raw sidescan and sub-bottom data that has not been merged with navigation. The AUV survey missions were conducted during R/V Rachel Carson cruises along the Cascadia Margin. Data were acquired as part of a collaborative research project between MBARI and the U.S. Geological Survey. Funding for the AUV mapping was provided from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
