Processed DSL-120A Sidescan Sonar Grids (NetCDF format) from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0410 (2004)

This data set was acquired with the towed WHOI DSL-120A Sidescan Sonar during Kilo Moana expedition KM0410 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Fernando Martinez). These data files are of NetCDF Grid format and include gridded Sidescan data that were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the Ridge 2000 Program project(s): Investigating the Interrelationships Between Crustal Structure, Volcanism, and Hydrothermal Activity Along the Backarc East Lau Spreading Center, LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats, and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 1 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-41785, OCE02-42002, and OCE02-42077. This data was cited by Martinez et al., 2006 and Ferrini et al., 2008.
