Description: Three 2D reflection seismic profiles from three glacial cross-shelf troughs of the Labrador Shelf, namely the Okak, Makkovik and Cartwright troughs, are presented. The data were collected onboard the Maria S. Merian during cruise and MSM84 using two different multi-channel streamers; a Geometrics GeoEel solid state digital high-resolution streamer (active length 75 m, channel spacing 1.5625 m; hereafter short streamer) and a digital Sercel high-resolution streamer system (active length 600 m, channel spacing 3.125 m; hereafter long streamer). Details regarding the used seismic systems can be found in the cruise report (doi:10.2312/cr_msm84). Data were processed using the commercial VISTA Desktop Seismic Data Processing Software (Schlumberger, version 2018). The standard processing approach included demultiplexing, bulk shifting, frequency filtering (Ormsby as well as in the FK-domain), spiking deconvolution, compensation of spherical divergence and common-midpoint (CMP) binning. The CMP bin size was set to 3.125 m for both datasets. For the short streamer a normal-move-out correction with a constant sound velocity of 1500 ms-1 was performed as the limited offset range of short streamer did not allow for a precise velocity analysis. Afterwards, a static correction was applied as the short streamer was towed close to the water surface. Finally, a CMP stack was calculated followed by a finite differences time migration. The dataset of the long streamer shows a strong receiver ghost, which is related to the tow depth of approximately 10 m below the water surface. This receiver ghost was suppressed. Afterwards, a data-driven velocity analysis was carried out by picking seismic velocities for every 500 CMPs. Normal-move-out correction, CMP stacking and a finite differences time migration were carried out using the velocity field. Finally, a white noise removal was performed. The objective of data recording on the Labrador Shelf is to map glacial landforms and reconstruct the dynamics of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in detail.

Description: Raw multibeam bathymetry data were collected aboard RV MARIA S. MERIAN during cruise MSM113 using a Kongsberg EM 122 multibeam echosounder. The expedition took place during 09.12.22-12.01.2023 from Las Palmas, Spain to Las Palmas, Spain in the Central Atlantic Ocean. Data were recorded off the NW-African continental margin and West of La Palma. The main aim of MSM113 was to realise an interdisciplinary approach, including a variety of geophysical, geological, geotechnical and oceanographic methods, to study processes that lead to the formation of large fields of sediment waves at the Northwest African margin. Sound velocity profiles (SVP) were applied on the data for calibration. Please see the cruise report for details. The data are unprocessed and can therefore contain incorrect depth measurements (artifacts) if not further processed. Note that refraction errors may occur when no proper SVP is applied. Provision of the data is part of the DAM Underway Project.
