Abstract:
Raw multibeam bathymetry data were collected aboard RV METEOR during cruise M202 using a 40-100kHz Kongsberg EM 710 multibeam echosounder. The expedition took place during 21.07.2024 - 07.08.2024 from Praia da Vitória (Portugal) to Mindelo (Cape Verde) in the North and Central Atlantic. The major aim of M202 ISAAC is to investigate the ecological niche segregation of cetaceans by studying the diversity and distribution of their potential prey, mainly squid and fish. Data were recorded in the EEZs of Cape Verde. 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. Data acquisition was done by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, provision of the data is supported by the DAM Underway Project and published according to the FAIR principles.
