Multibeam bathymetry raw data (Kongsberg EM2040 entire dataset) of RV ALKOR during cruise AL644
Abstract
Swath sonar bathymetry data recorded during AL644 on RV ALKOR using the hull-mounted Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 17.11.2025 - 28.11.2025 in the German Baltic Sea. The approximate depth range of the mapped areas is between 10-30m. To improve MBES data quality, sound velocity profile (SVP) casts were conducted in the vicinity of the mapped area prior to and after each survey using a CTD. The data set includes data from the 'Adlergrund' (ADG), located within the Pommeranian Bay/Rønne Bank Nature Conservation Area (NCA), from the 'Kadet Trench ('KDR') NCA and the Fehmarn Belt ('FB') NCA. The mapping has been conducted for baseline habitat studies in the area.
