Quality The multibeam data from Station 20120926 was affected by incorrect deployment settings that reduced the available swath and overall integrity of the final map out and along a single transect of the grid.

Ultimately there will be single MATLAB files associated with each of the stations. i.e. 20120926.mat

These will contain raw and processed data for
a) Engineering
b) Navigation (AUV and GRID coordinate systems)
c) Coordinate system information
d) Multibeam
e) Hyperspectral
f) CTD
g) ADCP
