title: Sediment echosounder raw data (Atlas Parasound P70 echosounder entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM129/1

description: Sediment echosounder raw data using the ship's own Atlas Parasound P70 echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM129/1. The data cover seamounts in the North Atlantic Ocean, which were predicted in the database of Gevorgian et al. 2023. These seamounts were charted on purpose during MSM129/1 to test how a targeted measuring of those features can be realized using this database as navigational reference points. The device was only switched on above those predicted seamounts, about half hour (2-4nm) before reaching and half hour (2-4nm) after the leaving the feature area. No further parallel spaced survey lines were performed due to tight time constrains. Data was recorded on 4 days between 2024-05-30 and 2024-06-02. Data acquisition was monitored during the entire time. During the cruise in total six predicted seamount were crossed (strait line only) and investigated using the system. The data showed sometimes thin sedimentary layering, but was not further investigated. This publication is conducted within the efforts of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area 'Data management and Digitalization' (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM).

title: Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM 122 entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM105

description: Raw multibeam bathymetry data were collected aboard RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM105 using a Kongsberg EM122 multibeam echosounder. The expedition took place during 11.01.2022 and 23.02.2022 from Walvis Bay (Namibia) - Mindelo (Cape Verde) in the Northern and Central Atlantic Ocean. Data were recorded outside EEZs. Sound velocity profiles (SVP) were applied on the data for calibration. Please see environmental data and the cruise report for details. The data are unprocessed and can therefore contain incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) if not further processed. Note that refraction errors may occur when no proper SVP is applied. The main aim of MSM105 was to study the relationships between physical boundary conditions and process rates, microbial activities, and the macrobenthic community in the present and recent past with an interdisciplinary approach within the framework of the BMBF research project EVAR. Acquisition and provision of the data are part of the DAM Underway Project.

title: Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM 122 entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM129/2

description: Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM129/2. Data was recorded on 28 days between 2024-06-07 and 2024-07-04. This dataset contains a transit survey mostly in the Labrador Sea and further east in the North Atlantic Ocean (south of Greenland). The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 3200m. The data cover also two seamounts which is predicted in the database of Gevorgian et al. 2023 (survey line through the centre), however only one of those predicted seamounts can be clearly seen in the data. Artificial sound velocity profiles (SVP) have been used to calibrate the system using the World Ocean Atlas 09 & World Ocean Atlas 13 retrieved through the SoundSpeedManager (SSM 2020.0.11). Ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) files from the cruise are added to this dataset. Data are unprocessed and therefore contains incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) without further processing. Note that refraction errors can be expected due to the lack of proper SVP. Overall, the data quality is rather good since the gridded hillshade data showed relatively few obstacles. This publication is conducted within the efforts of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area 'Data management and Digitalization' (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM). Data can be processed e.g. with the open source software package MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, http://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/, 2023).

title: Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM 122 entire dataset) of RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM129/1

description: Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder was not continuously recorded during RV MARIA S. MERIAN cruise MSM129/1. Data was recorded on 8 days between 2024-05-29 and 2024-06-05. This dataset contains an elongated transit survey (strait line) in the North Atlantic Ocean. The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 2900m. The data cover seamounts (no parallel spaced survey lines), which were predicted in the database of Gevorgian et al. 2023. These seamounts were charted on purpose during MSM129/1 to test how a targeted measuring of those features can be realized using this database as navigational reference points. Data acquisition was not constantly monitored only throughout the day, however also no system failures were noted at night times. Almost the entire time the system was set to operate with an opening angle of 65 degrees in starboard and port direction. Artificial sound velocity profiles (SVP) have been used to calibrate the system using the World Ocean Atlas 09 retrieved through the SoundSpeedManager (SSM 2024.0.3). Each day a new profile was uploaded into the Kongsberg Seafloor Information System. These ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) files from the cruise are part of this dataset. In addition sound velocity profiles calculated from CTD cast during MSM129/1 are part of this dataset, however not imported into the acquisition software during data acquisition. Data are unprocessed and therefore contains incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) without further processing. Note that refraction errors can be still expected due to the lack of proper SVP. Overall, the data quality is rather good since the gridded hillshade data showed relatively few obstacles.

title: Shipboard ADCP current measurements (600 kHz) during RV ALKOR cruise AL593

description: Current velocities of the upper water column along the cruise track of R/V Alkor cruise AL593 were collected by a vessel-mounted 600 kHz RDI Workhorse ADCP. The ADCP transducer was located at 4.2 m below the water line. The instrument was operated in high-res., shallow water profiling mode (WM 12) with a bin size of 0.50 m, a blanking distance of 0.88 m, and a total of 90 bins, covering the depth range between 5.7 m and 50.2 m. Four consecutive pings were considered to form one ensemble average. Beam velocities as recorded by the data acquisition software WinRiver2 were transformed to ship coordinates and after merging with the navigation data from the ship's gyro compass and Global Positioning systems into earth coordinates. Single-ping data were screened for bottom signals and, where appropriate, a bottom mask was manually processed. The ADCP was configured to measure bottom-track velocities, which were converted from beam to earth coordinates in the same manner as the water profile velocities. For each ping, the bottom-track velocity components were subtracted from the velocity profile to eliminate the ship movements and obtain true water velocities.The velocity data were averaged in time using an average interval of 60 s. Velocity quality flagging is based on different threshold criteria: Depth cells with ensemble-averaged percent-good values below 25% are marked as 'bad data'. Depth cells with velocities above 1.0 m/s are flagged as 'bad data'. Depth cells with a root-mean-square deviation between the measured ensemble-average velocity and a cell-wise running-mean velocity above 0.3 m/s are flagged as 'probably bad data'.
