Additional Documentation: NGDC has multibeam bathymetric data for this cruise, however the tracklines, found here in GEODAS do not exactly correspond to the multibm data available. Other data reported to have been collected on this cruise were Alvin dives, Sea Beam backscatter, coring, Deep Tow seismics, dredging. Navigation for the multibeam bathymetry was adjusted to match bathymetry
