This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2112 Multibeam Sonar system during Knorr expedition KN172-09 conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James W. Murray). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, and 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 2.0. Funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE00-96365, OCE01-17824, MCB01-32101, and OCE02-21500.
