Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired along the East Pacific Rise (EPR) during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9503 (1995)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9503 conducted in 1995 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Suzanne Carbotte). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Seismic Study of the Shallowest, Most Robust East Pacific Rise: Magmatic and Spreading Rate Influences on Axial and Young Ocean Crustal Structures, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE94-02172.
