Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Atlas Hydrographic Hydrosweep DS 2 multibeam echo sounder was almost continuously recorded during RV METEOR cruise M46/4. Data was recorded on 27 days between 2000-02-11 and 2000-03-09. This dataset contains a transit survey in the Southern Atlantic Ocean . The approximate average depth of the entire dataset is around 6200m. The data are archived at the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, BSH) and provided to PANGAEA database for data curation and publication. No ancillary sound velocity profiles (SVP) files from the cruise are archived at the BSH, thus no SVP files are added to this dataset. 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 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, it appears that the data quality is rather poor since the gridded hillshade data showed relatively many obstacles. 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/, 2022). ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.943133"! ** These data should not be used for navigational purposes. Data publishing was realized by Daniel Damaske, MARUM - Center for Marine Environmental Sciences (University Bremen).
