Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 3) acquired near the East Pacific Rise (EPR) Spreading Center during the Melville expedition WEST01MV (1993)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition WEST01MV conducted in 1993 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Tetsuro Urabe). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): NSF-NOAA/PMEL Ridge Flux, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): DMA800-81-C-0023.

本数据集由船载SeaBeam 2000多波束声呐系统（SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system）采集自1993年开展的梅尔维尔号（Melville）考察航次WEST01MV，本次航次首席科学家为Tetsuro Urabe博士。数据集文件采用MBsystem格式，包含条带测深数据（Swath Bathymetry data），由GMRT团队依托开源MB-System多波束声呐处理软件完成处理，作为GMRT合成项目的组成部分。本次数据已被纳入GMRT合成数据集V1.0版本。本数据集的采集工作隶属于NSF-NOAA/PMEL Ridge Flux项目，项目资助由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）提供的编号为DMA800-81-C-0023的拨款支持。
