Processed Gridded Acoustic Backscatter Data from the Mendocino Ridge Fracture Zone acquired during Okeanos Explorer expedition EX0903 (2009)

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract: 
This data set was acquired with a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM302 Multibeam Sonar system during Okeanos Explorer expedition EX0903 conducted in 2009 (Chief Scientist Dr. James Gardner). These data files are in ESRI ASCII Grid format and include gridded Acoustic Backscatter data and were processed after data collection. The data set was acquired as part of the project called Mendocino Ridge - UNH Law of the Sea Mapping.
