| Purpose | Multibeam data were collected to extend the global database of seafloor topography and to provide high resolution bathymetry for the expedition's scientific program. |
| Abstract | Multibeam data were collected during R/V Polarstern cruise ARK-XXV/3 along track lines of about 10,400 NM total length along transits, survey profiles and during stationary work. Main working area was Greenland's part of Baffin Bay. The refraction correction was achieved utilizing CTD profiles or by the system's own cross fan calibration. The quality of data might be reduced during bad weather periods or adverse sea ice conditions. The dataset contains raw data that are not processed and thus may contain errors and blunders in depth and position. The 204 raw multibeam sonar files in SURF format are compressed as TAR archive with GZIP. One dataset contains a measurement period not exceeding eight hours. |
