It includes archive files of Swath Bathymetric Sonar, CTD/XBT and GPS navigation that were collected in the process of mapping the Puerto Rico Trench. Purpose: In February-March 2003, we conducted a seventeen day multibeam bathymetry survey of the Puerto Rico Trench as part of a three survey effort to provide a complete bathymetric coverage of the Puerto Rico Trench and its vicinity. The 800-km long trench was mapped from north of the Dominican Republic in the west to NE of Anguila in the east at water depths between 2500 meters and 8400 meters. The survey was funded by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration. It was carried out aboard the NOAA ship Ron Brown and utilized the onboard SeaBeam 2112 multibeam bathymetry system.
