Expedition SO268 was part of the JPI Oceans project MiningImpact to assess the environmental impacts of deep sea mining of polymetallic nodules in the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ). A sediment plume monitoring operation was conducted as part of this expedition. During the expedition, a small experiment was carried out to study monitoring of sediment plumes using a multibeam system. This dataset contains the data of a JFE optical backscatter sensor (JFE OBS (NIOZ_ENV-17)) which was simultaneously deployed during SO268/2_ST152_ROV22.
