Multibeam sonar bathymetric data for the Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark

Description

Multibeam sonar data showing the bathymetric survey of two offshore submarine sinkholes, Miami Sinkhole and Key Biscayne Sinkhole. A series of dives were performed to produce the bathymetric surveys using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with a multibeam-sonar. These data were collected between May 5-8, 2016 using a Bluefin B12 AUV equipped with a Imagenex MBDelta and an onboard calibrated Kearfott T-24 Inertial Navigation System (INS) aided by a (WAAS), 600 kHz RDI Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) and a Valeport sound velocity meter.
