Purpose | |
Abstract | The main objective during cruise MSM57 was to investigate gas hydrate systems and their dynamics at the continental margin of Svalbard. During cruise MSM57, the maximum swath width was set to 120 degrees to improve data quality, reduce the amount of noisy data at the outer beams, and increase the ping rate. The Beam Spacing was set to HD EQS, while the Ping Mode was set to Shallow or Medium and the Dual Swath Mode ON/AUTO. Pitch/Yaw stabilization ON Improvement of data quality |
