Raw multibeam bathymetry data from the Kongsberg EM712 was acquired during the RV Heincke cruise HE659 in the German Bight in April 2025. The data was generally acquired during calm seas in water depths between 20 and 50 m. Primarily three different regions were surveyed (Borkumer Reef Ground, Sylt Outer Reef, and Helgoland). Generally the data is comprehensive and overlapping swaths creating a continuous bathymetry were archived. In some areas the data was acquired complementary to sidescan sonar surveys and individual tracks do not overlap. Data are unprocessed and therefore may contain some incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) without further processing. No tide variations are applied. Sound velocity profiles were acquired regularly. Overall, it appears that the data quality is rather good. The gridded data showed relatively few obstacles.
At 113 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 25 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 44 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 43 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 63 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 3 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with C-Technics Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 26 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with C-Technics Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
At 85 stations in the German Bitght underwater videos were recorded with Kongsberg Color Zoom Camera and GOPRO 3+ Black Edition to ground truth sidescan sonar backscatter data. The R/V Heincke was drifting while data acquisition.
Multibeam data were collected with RV Polarstern along the route of cruise PS127 and data acquisition was continuously monitored during the survey. Multibeam sonar system was Teledyne/Atlas Hydrosweep DS3. SVPs were retrieved from UCTD data. SVPs were processed with HydrOffice SoundSpeedManager (https://www.hydroffice.org/soundspeed/main) and extended with World Ocean Atlas 13 (https://doi.org/10.7289/v5f769gt). SVP data were applied during acquisition. Multibeam data are unprocessed and may contain outliers and blunders and should not be used for grid calculations and charting projects without further editing. The raw multibeam sonar data in Teledyne/Atlas multibeam processing format (.asd) were recorded with Teledyne/Atlas Parastore software as well as Teledyne Reson format (.s7k) in Teledyne PDS. Raw data files can be processed using software packages like CARIS HIPS/SIPS. For updated vessel configuration files check further details.
