Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired near the Lau Back-arc Basin during the Melville expedition TUIM07MV (2005)
This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition TUIM07MV conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher). 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 2.5. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 5 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-40896, OCE02-40982, OCE02-40985, and OCE02-41250.
