Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along the Juan de Fuca Ridge Spreading Center during the Melville expedition WEST15MV (1995)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition WEST15MV conducted in 1995 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Steve Cande). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Measuring the Aging of the Magnetic Source Layer, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE94-02060.
