EW9305 Bathymetry:Swath
Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Vema Transform Fault acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9305 (1993)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9305 conducted in 1993 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kim Kastens). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Mapping a Cross-Section through Oceanic Lithosphere Exposed by Vertical Tectonics at the Vema Fracture Zone, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE93-07017 and OCE94-02347.
