<Summary>Multibeam data were collected during RV Polarstern cruise PS154/1 (2026-04-11 to 2026-04-30). Multibeam sonar system was Atlas Hydrographic Hydrosweep DS 3 multibeam echo sounder. Data are processed with Caris HIPS, including sound velocity correction with SV data from CTDs and World Ocean Atlas 23 (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/archive/accession/NCEI-WOA23), tidal correction with TPXO9_atlas_v5 (https://www.tpxo.net), and manual cleaning. The soundings are combined in daily files, the format is XYZ ASCII (&lt;Lon&gt; &lt;Lat&gt; &lt;Depth in meters, positive up, relative to mean sea level&gt;). Additional grids have been computed with depth dependent cell size to visualize the data. These grids are not meant for scientific analysis or navigation, but for overview purposes only. ** For all details see the full metadata description at "https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.995440"! ** These data should not be used for navigational purposes.</Summary>
