This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition WEST11MV conducted in 1995 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Douglas Luther). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): U.S.-Australian Cooperative Study of the Northern Branch of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE92-04040, OCE92-04041, OCE92-04063, OCE92-04113, and OCE94-14972. ...
