Description
Summary:This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9208 conducted in 1992 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Brian Tucholke). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry, and Acoustic Backscatter 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Morphological and geophysical investigation of Western North Atlantic Crustal Structure, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): N00014-90-J-1621.
