CALIBRATION

The MBES was calibrated in the Atlantic Ocean during the previous cruise. On the way to the northern end of the ABFZ, on the Agulhas Plateau, we collected data for roll, pitch and yaw calibration (see Fig.8).

The ofssets resulting fron the calibration are presented in Table 4. Several lines were acquired during the survey that will be used as further calibration control.
