Please refer to the article: Paleogeography of a lake and river system in north-easternMecklenburg Bay, southern Baltic Sea, ..., .... doi:.... for further information on the datasets. 

Seismic Lines (.sgy files)

Seismic Lines in segy format in the area SW of the Darss Sill.

Data were recorded during research survey 176 of Elisabeth Mann Borgese between the 16. and 18. of February 2018.

Data were recorded with an Innomar SES Medium parametric echo sounder and subsequently converted to segy file format using the native INNOMAR converter software.

Side Scan Sonar backscatter mosaics (.tif and .png files)

Various mosaics from the archive of the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research (IOW).

Files starting with "u" were recorded by vessels of the Bundesamt für Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH) and processed at IOW. The coordinate system of the files is defined by:
