Multibeam bathymetry processed data (Kongsberg EM2040 working area dataset) of RV ALKOR during cruise AL652/2, MPA Adlergrund, Baltic Sea

Swath sonar bathymetry data were acquired during cruise AL652/2 with the research vessel RV ALKOR using a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam echosounder (MBES). The cruise took place between 25.05.2026 - 02.06.2026 in the German Baltic Sea. The approximate depth range of the mapped area is between 10-20 m. To improve MBES data quality, sound velocity profile (SVP) casts were conducted in the vicinity of the mapped area prior to and after each survey using a Sound Velocity Probe. The data set includes data from the 'Adlergrund', located within the Pommeranian Bay/Rønne Bank Nature Conservation Area (NCA). The survey was carried out to support baseline habitat studies in this region. Data processing involved the application of a weak spline filter and manual cleaning to remove erroneous soundings, performed using Qimera (https://qps.nl/qimera/#). A bathymetric raster was generated and exported in GeoTIFF format with a spatial resolution of 0.25 m (negative depth values), referenced to WGS84 as the vertical datum and projected in UTM coordinates.

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (Kongsberg EM2040 working area dataset) of RV ALKOR during cruise AL652/2, MPA Fehmarnbelt, Baltic Sea

Swath sonar bathymetry data were acquired during cruise AL652-2 with the research vessel RV ALKOR using a hull-mounted Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam echosounder (MBES). The cruise took place between 25.05.2026 - 02.06.2026 in the German Baltic Sea. The approximate depth range of the mapped area is between 15-30m. To improve MBES data quality, sound velocity profile (SVP) casts were conducted in the vicinity of the mapped area prior to and after each survey using a Sound Velocity Probe. The data set includes data from an area called 'Oejet', which is a part of the Nature Conservation Area (NCA) 'Fehmarnbelt', located in the western Baltic Sea. The survey was carried out to support baseline habitat studies in this region. Data processing involved the application of a weak spline filter and manual cleaning to remove erroneous soundings, performed using Qimera (https://qps.nl/qimera/#). A bathymetric raster was generated and exported in GeoTIFF format with a spatial resolution of 0.25 m (negative depth values), referenced to WGS84 as the vertical datum and projected in UTM coordinates. The dataset consists of two surveys (Stations AL652-2_65, AL652-2_77) that were combined into a single final grid.

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (KONGSBERG EM712 working area dataset) of RV HEINCKE during cruise HE622, 'Tiefe Rinne' at Heligoland, North Sea

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (KONGSBERG EM712 multibeam echosounder) was collected onboard RV HEINCKE during cruise HE622 in the German North Sea (2023-06-06 - 2023-06-20) at 'Tiefe Rinne' at Helgoland. The raw data (.all format) were processed using QPS Qimera software (v 1.7), based on the following workflow: 0.Raw data > 1.Apply correct Sound Velocity Profiles -> 2.Create dynamic surface (shallow Mode) -> 3.Apply Spline Filter (Medium/Weak) > 4. Finalize with manual 2D and 3D editing, -> 5.Export in GeoTIFF format and projected in the UTM32N coordinate system (EPSG:32632). The bathymetry dataset here is gridded at 2 m resolution. The data products were created in the context of the DAM (German Marine Research Alliance), CONMAR research project.

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (Kongsberg EM2040 working area dataset) of RV ALKOR during cruise AL644, Baltic Sea

Swath sonar bathymetry data recorded during AL644 on RV ALKOR using the hull-mounted Kongsberg EM2040 multibeam echosounder. The cruise took place between 17.11.2025 - 28.11.2025 in the German Baltic Sea. The approximate depth range of the mapped areas is between 10-30m. To improve MBES data quality, sound velocity profile (SVP) casts were conducted in the vicinity of the mapped area prior to and after each survey using a CTD. The data set includes data from the 'Adlergrund' (ADG), located within the Pommeranian Bay/Rønne Bank Nature Conservation Area (NCA), from the 'Kadet Trench ('KDR') NCA and the Fehmarn Belt ('FB') NCA. The mapping has been conducted for baseline habitat studies in the area. Data were manually edited for false measurements using Qimera (https://qps.nl/qimera/#). A raster was calculated and stored in GeoTIFF format with a 0.5 m resolution (negative values), WGS84 as vertical datum and UTM as a projection. The mapping has been conducted for baseline habitat studies in the area.

Munition pile inventory in the German Baltic Sea, 2017 to 2024

The dataset is a spreadsheet of munition piles, their properties (e.g., number of objects, variability, burial state), and the parameters characterizing their environmental (e.g., munition compound concentrations and current velocity) and maritime (e.g., distance to various maritime uses and traffic density) surroundings in the German Baltic Sea. Data were collected over numerous cruises from 2017 to 2024. All munition piles in the dataset are located at Kolberger Heide (close to Kiel Fjord) or in the Lübeck Bay. The purpose of data acquisition was to understand the distribution and properties of dumped munitions in German waters as well as the hazards and risks they pose to maritime uses. Munition piles were annotated in multibeam echosounder data, assessed in detail in photomosaics, and analyzed using an array of geospatial analysis methods.

Munition pile inventory in the German Baltic Sea, 2017 et seq

The publication series contains spreadsheets of munitions, their properties (e.g., number of objects, variability, burial state), and the parameters characterising their environmental (e.g., munition compound concentrations and current velocity) and maritime (e.g., distance to various maritime uses and traffic density) surroundings in the German Baltic Sea. Data are collected over numerous cruises starting in 2017. The purpose of data acquisition is to understand the distribution and properties of munitions in German waters as well as the hazards and risks they pose to maritime uses. Munitions are annotated in larger area datasets (usually multibeam echosounder or sidescan sonar data), assessed in detail (usually visually in photomosaics or videos), and analysed using an array of geospatial analysis methods.
