Processed Sidescan Grids (NetCDF:GMT format) derived from ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0410 (2004)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0410 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Fernando Martinez). These data files are of NetCDF Grid format and include gridded Sidescan data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Investigating the Interrelationships Between Crustal Structure, Volcanism, and Hydrothermal Activity Along the Backarc East Lau Spreading Center, LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats, and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 1 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-41785, OCE02-42002, and OCE02-42077. This data was cited by Martinez et al., 2006.
