Multibeam bathymetry raw data using the ship's own Kongsberg EM 710 multibeam echosounder was partially recorded during RV METEOR cruise M76/3b. Data were recorded on 7 days between 2020-07-17 and 2020-08-23 in the South Atlantic Ocean.Ancillary sound velocity calibration measurements using sound velocity profiles (SVP) are not part of this dataset publication.Data are unprocessed and therefore may contain incorrect depth measurements without further processing. Data can be processed e.g. with the open source software package MB-System (Caress, D. W., and D. N. Chayes, MB-System: Mapping the Seafloor, http://www.mbari.org/products/research-software/mb-system/, 2017).The data are archived at the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency of Germany (Bundesamt für Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie, BSH) and provided to PANGAEA database for data curation and publication. This publication is conducted within the efforts of the German Marine Research Alliance in the core area "Data management and Digitalization" (Deutsche Allianz Meeresforschung, DAM).
