This processed swath bathymetry data set was collected with a Reson SeaBat 7125 multibeam sonar system on the MBARI Mapping AUV during missions 20220830m1 and 20220906m2 in 2022. The data files are in MB-System-compatible format (mbio format 89) and contain processed swath bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data. The AUV survey missions were conducted during the 2022 IBRV Araon cruise ARA13C in the Beaufort Sea. Data were acquired as part of a collaborative research project between MBARI, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the Korea Polar Research Institute. Funding for the AUV mapping was provided from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. ...
