Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired near the New Zealand Margin during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0503 (2005)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM1002 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0503 conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Clark Alexander). 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 2.4. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Sediment Dynamics on the Actively Deforming Waipaoa Continental Slope: An Examination of A Dispersal System Sink, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE04-05726, OCE04-05785, OCE04-52166, and OCE06-46771.
