| Summary: | Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg (Simrad) EM 120 multibeam echosounder were recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM02/3. Data were recorded on 2 days between 2006-07-03 and 2006-07-04. Data cover the area northeast of the isand Jan Mayen. The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 2100m. 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) from the cruise are archived at the BSH, thus added to this dataset. Data analysis of the raw data reveled that SVP has not been changed during the survey. This publication is conducted within the efforts of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area "Data management and Digitalization" (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM). Data are unprocessed and therefore may contain incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) without further processing. Data can be processed e.g. with the open source software package MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, http://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/, 2021).
