Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired along the Southeast Indian Ridge Spreading Center during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW0114 (2001)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS2 Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW0114 conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. James Cochran). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry, and Acoustic Backscatter 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): The Effects of Changes in Mantle Temperature on Melt Supply and Crustal Accretion: An MCS Reflection and OBH Refraction Study of the Southeast Indian Ridge, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE99-11720.
