Digital sediment echo sounder profiles were acquired along five transects across the Namibian Shelf in the southeast Atlantic ocean with the hull mounted Atlas Parasound P70 onboard RV Maria S. Merian during the research expedition MSM105 (11.01.-23.02.2022). A continuous wave with a rectangular shape and a pulse length of 50 µs has been transmitted, resulting in decimetric scale vertical resolution and a maximum penetration of 60-70 m. During the cruise, the profiles were used for the planning of coring locations. Further use includes stratigraphic and structural interpretation as well as core integration.
