SBP data was acquired by the 16 transducers, hull mounted BENTHOS (DATASONICS) Mod.CAP-6600 CHIRP-II profiler, with operating frequencies ranging between 2 and 7 kHz. The pulse length was mantained at 20 ms while the trigger rates varied from 0.25 to 1 and 2 seconds according to water depth. Digital data acquired by the Communication Technology SWANPRO software were recorded in the XTF format on local disks and transferred on the network upon request. Backups were loaded on DAT tapes and DVD. The navigation data was made available to the system as lat/long by NMEA sentences of the DGPS receiver at a rate of aproximately 1 Hz. The XTF data were then converted to SEG-Y by the Triton-Elics's Xtf2Seg software. This latter data were then input to the ISMAR's SEISPRO software [Gasperini and Stanghellini(2005)] for data processing and display. Since the SEG-Y converted positions were found to be truncated, the accurate position data were recovered from the XTF headers by routines developed at ISMAR, and re-input to SEISPRO. The operation was also useful to check data integrity, other than for producing the navigation map and database.
