Submersible Data
Submersibles provide important high-resolution geophysical data sets as well as bottom samples, photos and video that
are important for seafloor characterization and ground-truth. Data have been acquired by the National Deep Submergence
Facility (NDSF), the Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
