Description
Multibeam backscatter imagery extracted from gridded bathymetry of Northeast Bank ("Muli" Seamount), American Samoa. These data provide coverage between 20 and 5000 meters. The backscatter dataset includes data collected using Simrad EM300 and Simrad EM3002d multibeam sonars. The sonars frequencies are 30 kHz and 300 kHz respectively and the backscatter data from each sonar are processed and gridded separately. These metadata are for the 1 m grid cell size Simrad em3002d multibeam backscatter data only.
