Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along the Juan de Fuca Ridge Spreading Center during the Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN183 (2005)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM300 Multibeam Sonar system during Thomas G. Thompson expedition TN183 conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. John Delaney). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry, Acoustic Backscatter, and Sidescan 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 2.0. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Visually Integrated Science for Interactive Ocean Networked Systems (VISIONS'05).
