Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV METEOR cruise M99. Data was recorded on 3 days between 2013-08-03 and 2013-08-05. This dataset contains a survey in the South Atlantic Ocean west of Namibia. The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 4300m.The data are archived at the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, BSH) and provided to PANGAEA database for data curation and publication. Ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) files from the cruise are archived at the BSH, thus SVP files are added to this dataset. Data analysis of the multibeam raw data revealed that SVP has not been changed during the survey.This publication is conducted within the efforts of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area Data management and Digitalization (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM).Data are unprocessed and therefore contains incorrect depth ... : These data should not be used for navigational purposes.Data publishing was realized by Daniel Damaske, MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (University Bremen). ...
