Dataset identification

Title of datasetBathymetry in the area of NW Spanish continental margin, Alboran Sea
Narrative summary of datasetThis bathymetry was recovered in the framework of the FAUCES project, which addresses the study of marine geological hazards, with special emphasis on sedimentary instabilities associated with the heads of three submarine canyons located on the Mediterranean continental margins of southern Iberia. This bathymetry is focussed on submarine canyons close to the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Summary of processing methodologyData was recovered using the Hydrosweep DS multibeam echosounder designed to perform bathymetric surveys of seabed to depths greater than 11000 meters, complying with IHO S44 regulations for such surveys. Data was processed with CARIS
