Multibeam bathymetry processed data (R2Sonic 2022 entire dataset) of VALERIO during cruise CBR01

Bathymetric data was collected in June 2021 during the first marine expedition of the project "CRESCIBLUREEF – Grown in the blue: new technologies for knowledge and conservation" offshore Marzamemi village, Sicily, Italy (central coordinates of the investigated area are 36.73324N lat, 15.17894E lon, WGS85 – UTM 33N). Data were collected during a pole-mounted survey using a R2Sonic Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) combined with an integrated Inertial Navigation System (I2NS) and the Sound Velocity Sensor – Valeport miniSVS. The MBES was done onboard the minor vessel "Valerio" of Arena Sub S.r.l. over 45 tracks performed at an average speed of 5 knots in approximately three days of field work (22nd and 23rd of June, 2021). A total of about 17 km2 were investigated covering the depth range from about 15 to about 100 m. The final DTM was provided at 3x3m grid cell size.
