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 KM0417 (2004)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Kilo Moana expedition KM0417 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Langmuir). 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): LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats, Integrated Hydrothermal and Petrological Studies of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center, and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 2 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-41716, OCE02-41785, OCE02-41909, OCE02-41913, OCE02-42114, OCE02-42618, OCE02-42675, and OCE02-42902.
