Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired in the western Pacific Ocean and Solomon Sea during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0002 (2000)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0002 conducted in 2000 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Brian Taylor). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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 2.3. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Natural Seismicity Investigation of Active Continental Breakup in the Western Woodlark Basin, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE97-30824 and OCE97-30864.
