Multichannel Seismic Reflection Data from RV Pelagia during cruise 64PE-445 (SALTAX project)

We present digital multichannel seismic reflection data from the central Red Sea. They were collected on RV Pelagia during cruise 64PE-445 as part of the SALTAX project (Augustin et al., 2019). A Delta Sparker system with 6 kJ and a dominant frequency of ~300 Hz was used as the seismic source. Seismic energy was recorded using a Microeel solid-state streamer with 24 channels and a length of 100 m. Data processing was carried out using VISTA software and comprised trace-editing, simple frequency filtering (50–2000 Hz), normal moveout correction (1500 m/s), common mid-point stacking, finite-difference post-stack migration, as well as top-muting and white noise removal. Interpretation of the seismic data was carried out using the KingdomSuite software of IHS.
