Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg (Simrad) EM 120 multibeam echosounder was recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM20/5 en route to the main research working. Data was recorded on 19 days between 2012-04-12 and 2012-05-02. This dataset contains a systematic survey at the Mid-Ocean Ridge in the North Atlantic Ocean. Also, the Fresmen Seamount and Menner Seamount is surveyed. The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 4500m. The water depth varies between 2800m and 6400m.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. No ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) files from the cruise are archived at the BSH, thus no SVP files are added to this dataset. However, data analysis of the multibeam raw data revealed that SVP has been changed during the survey.This publication is conducted within the efforts of the ... : These data should not be used for navigational purposes.Data publishing was realized by Daniel Damaske, MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (University Bremen). ...
