Multibeam Advisory Committee's Projects
A python module for reading Kongsberg kmall data files.
Multibeam mapping community resources hosted by the Multibeam Advisory Committee
Python-based tools for assessing Kongsberg multibeam echosounder performance
Multibeam echosounder assessment tools under development for public distribution to the ocean mapping community. Each tool is a standalone Python application (.exe), frozen with all required libraries using pyinstaller. Current development is focused on Kongsberg system performance and data formats, as used widely throughout the UNOLS and NOAA fleets. Supported by the NSF-funded Multibeam Advisory Committee (see http://mac.unols.org for related SAT/QAT reports) and NOAA.
