Acoustic Backscatter

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The Acoustic Backscatter data sets are GIS raster images of the range of backscatter amplitudes projected onto a colormap from multibeam echosounder amplitude data or side scan sonar amplitude data. These amplitude data from individual datafiles are mosaicked into a single raster.
