Multibeam Bathymetry Database (MBBDB) 1980 creation 2023 revision 2023-09-15 publication International DOI Foundation (IDF) doi:10.7289/V56T0JNC NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information NCEI Metadata ID: gov.noaa.ngdc:G01034 NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information author NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information publisher The Multibeam Bathymetry Database went online in 2004 Originally designed for military use, the multibeam echosounder has proved very useful for nautical charting, oceanographic research and modeling, habitat classification, maritime commerce, and recreational applications. The Multibeam Bathymetry Database at NCEI collects and archives multibeam data from the earliest commercial installations (circa 1980) through today's modern high-resolution collections. Data are acquired from a variety of primarily government and academic sources (see individual cruise metadata records for source information) and consist of the raw (as collected) sonar data files. Datasets may also include processed or edited versions of the sonar data, ancillary data, derived products, and/or metadata for the data collection. The Multibeam Bathymetry Database provides data that span the globe and are discoverable and accesible via map interface or text-only search options. NGDC (now NCEI) established the Multibeam Bathymetry Database to provide a comprehensive database of multibeam bathymetric data on a global scale. The intent of the dataset is to make high-resolution bathymetry available to the public for a wide variety of uses, such as research and earth science analysis. These data are NOT to be used for navigation. onGoing onGoing NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Multibeam Data Manager (303) 497-4613 (303) 497-6513 mb.info@noaa.gov 8:00 - 4:30 Mountain pointOfContact asNeeded Updated as needed https://ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/image/multibeam.gif 1996: Dr. Lincoln Pratson, INSTAAR/NGDC offshore California gridded multibeam data gif NGDA National Geospatial Data Asset Elevation Theme theme NGDA Portfolio Themes Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Abyssal Hills/Plains Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Bathymetry Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Continental Margins Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Fracture Zones Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Ocean Plateaus/Ridges Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seafloor Topography Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Seamounts Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Submarine Canyons Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Trenches Earth Science > Oceans > Bathymetry/Seafloor Topography > Water Depth theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2024 revision 19 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2024.
