Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired in the Gulf of Mexico during the Marcus G. Langseth expedition MGL0801 (2008)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Marcus G. Langseth expedition MGL0801 conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. John Diebold). These data files are of MBSystem format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, and Swath Bathymetry 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 2.0. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): R/V Marcus G. Langseth - Seismic Shakedown and Science Testing, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE05-51926.
