Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM55. Data were recorded on 8 days between 13.06.2016 and 29.06.2016 at different locations. The data were primarily archived at the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, BSH) and provided to PANGAEA database for data curation and publication. During data acquisition, sound velocity measurements using sound velocity profiles (SVP) was applied on the data for data calibration. SVP raw data are not part of this dataset publication.
These data should not be used for navigational purposes.Data publishing was realized by Daniel Damaske, MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (University Bremen).
