Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired in the Atlantic Ocean along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9901 (1999)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9901 conducted in 1999 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Deborah Smith). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Swath Bathymetry data and were processed by the at-sea science party and the GMRT Team 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): Long Term Monitoring of Seismicity at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge Using Autonomous Underwater Hydrophones, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE98-11575 and OCE98-12237.
