            NGDC is the US national archive for multibeam bathymetric data and 
            presently holds over 1.6 million nautical miles of ship tracklines 
            (660 surveys) received from sources worldwide.

      Abstract: 
        This data set is part of a larger set of data called the the MultiBeam 
        Bathymetric Data Base (MBBDB) where other similar data can be found at 
        http://map.ngdc.noaa.gov/website/mgg/multibeam/.
      Purpose: 
        The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), on behalf of 
        the United States Government, has a requirement to carry out surveys 
        of specific regions on the continental margin (slope and rise) in the 
        northern Atlantic Ocean in order to obtain multibeam bathymetry and 
        co-registered calibrated acoustic backscatter. These data are required 
        to support a potential claim for extended jurisdiction by the United 
        States under United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 
        Article 76. The requirement is for the collection and processing of 
        high quality, full-coverage multibeam sonar data in water depths of 
        approximately 2000 to 5000 m in order to precisely define the location 
        of the 2500-m isobath and the "foot of the slope" as defined under 
        UNCLOS Article 76. As part of their NOAA-funded research program, 
        University of New Hampshire (UNH) researchers oversaw data 
        acquisition, processing and archiving of the data collected during the 
        cruise.
        These data are not intended to be used for navigation.
        Nautical charts produced and certified by NOAA should be used for 
        navigational purposes. For more information on NOAA's nautical charts 
        go to NOAA's Office of Coast Survey website at:

        Entity Type Label: 
          Multibeam Bathymetry
        Entity Type Definition: 
          The determination of ocean depths or the general configuration of the 
          sea floor as determined by the profile analysis of depth data, using 
          a multibeam, wide-swath echo sounder. Depths are measured directly 
          below and transverse to the ship's track. The width of the swath is 
          a function of the number of beams and their aperture.
