Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data (version 2) acquired along the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc and Subduction Zone during the Melville expedition COOK07MV (2001)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based SeaBeam 2000 Multibeam Sonar system during Melville expedition COOK07MV conducted in 2001 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Sherman Bloomer). These data files are of MBSystem format and include 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 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Mantle Inputs to the Subduction Factory: Assessing Scales of Spatial Variability along and across the IBM Convergent Margin, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE00-01827, OCE00-01876, and OCE00-02715.
