Hydroacoustic data Eckernförde Bay, Germany aquired during ALKOR cruise AL447 and Elisabeth Mann Borgese EMB187, with links to files

This multibeam echo sounder (MBES) bathymetry data and backscatter data, as well as subbottom profiler data, was acquired in Eckernförde Bay, Germany.

The MBES data were acquired using an EM2040c system which was installed on R/V Alkor (Cruise AL447 - 2014). It operates with a 200-400 kHz transducer combined with a CodaOctupus F180 motion sensor. The survey was designed to provide high-resolution bathymetry with 0.5 x 0.5 m resolution. The bathymetry data were post-processed using sound velocity profiles acquired at regular intervals. Tidal corrections were applied using the tidal gauge in Eckernförde with reference to NHN, DHHN92. […]
