This data compilation comprises bathymetry data from several data sources. A detailed list with references can be found below.The raw data have been corrected for sound velocity and edited using common bathymetry processing software (Qimera, MB-System) and converted to ungridded point clouds in .xyz format. They have been further processed using GDAL and Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) to first reduce the point density with a blockmedian and to then create a coherent raster with a nearneighbour algorithm. The raster is referenced to EPSG4326/WGS84 with a resolution of 15s. It covers the larger area around the Cape Verdes. The bounding box coordinates are: 25.017, -34.961 (NW)4.017, -6.972 (SE)List of cruises: Cruise: Chief Scientist/Data HolderMSM89: Johannes Karstensen/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.923066)MSM88-2: Colin Devey/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.918716)MSM88-1: Colin Devey/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.919112)MSM87: Sebastian Krastel/CAU Kiel (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.965751)MSM82: Wolfram Geissler/AWI (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.902362)MSM79: Karin Zonnefeld/MARUMMSM70: Froukje M. van der Zwan/KAUST (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.922893)MSM69: Ingo Grevemeier Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.950420)MSM68-2: Stefanie Fiedler/Uni Köln MSM61: Björn Fiedler/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.892656)MSM60-2: Anja Schneehorst/BSHMSM49: Bernd Christiansen/Uni HH (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.923080)M89: Jan-Berend Stuut/NOIZ & MARUMM80-3: Thor Hansteen/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.935344)M79-3: Bernd Christiansen/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.923998)M68-2: Peter Brandt/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.958969 & https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.958981)M62-3: Ingo Grevemeier/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.960035)M160: Arne Körtzinger/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.928907)M159: Peter Brandt/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.924176)M156: Stefan Sommer/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.957081 & https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.957082)M155: Sebastian Krastel/CAU KielM152-2: Christian Hübscher/Uni HH (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.924127 & https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.903617)M145: Sebastian Krastel/CAU Kiel (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.888438)M139: Wolfram Geissler/AWI (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.881298)M130: Marcus Dengler/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.881314)M127: Sven Petersen/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.881314 & https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.864817)M119: Peter Brandt/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.897106)M118: Thorsten Stoeck/TU KaiserslauternM116: Ingo Grevemeier/GeomarM106: Peter Brandt/Geomar (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.902929)M104: Detlef Quadfasel/Uni HamburgiMirabilis: Veerle Huvenne/Cat Wardell UKRI NOC (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.954018)CD168: Douglas Masson/Southhampton OC (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.965131)
