contenttypeSummary

The Multibeam Echo Sounder uses several frequencies to map the topography of the seafloor. It also provides information about the texture of the seafloor as well as the structure of the water body.

Data archiving on land

After the cruise, the operator transfers the measurement data along with required meta data to AWI after consultaion with the data scientist and AWI Logistics. Then, the data including meta data can be extracted from https://www.pangaea.de/ (for authorized users only). The reduced DShip data set can be extracted from https://dms.awi.de.
