This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Healy expedition HLY-03-01 conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kelly Falkner). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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 2.2. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Variability and Forcing of Fluxes through Nares Strait and Jones Sound: A Freshwater Emphasis, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP02-30236 and OPP02-30354.
