Swath sonar bathymetry during POLARSTERN cruise ARK-XIII/3 (PS45) with links to multibeam raw data files

Multibeam data were collected during R/V Polarstern cruise ARK-XIII/3. Data recording was executed in Greenland Sea and in Fram Strait and was supervised by three hydrographers. Data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders. Therefore the data should not directly be used for grid calcul...

Description
Summary:Multibeam data were collected during R/V Polarstern cruise ARK-XIII/3. Data recording was executed in Greenland Sea and in Fram Strait and was supervised by three hydrographers. Data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders. Therefore the data should not directly be used for grid calculations and charting projects but need to be edited furthermore. The dataset consists of 12 files in ATLAS ascii multibeam format including 'record control words' (*.dux) which are compressed with GZIP to size of 143 MB. Atlas DUX data files can be processed using the open source software package MB-System (http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/res/pi/MB-System/). Contact mailto:infobathy@awi.de for data access.
