Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during R/V Maurice Ewing expedition EW0004 (2000)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0004 conducted in 2000 (Chief Scientist: Dr. John Sinton). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter and Swath Bathymetry data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Galapagos Plume Ridge Interaction Multi-disciplinary Experiment (G-PRIME), and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE00-00478, OCE00-02189, OCE03-26772, OCE03-27018, OCE03-27051, OCE03-27289, OCE98-18632, OCE98-18886, and OCE98-19117.
