Side scan sonar backscatter mosaic offshore Thailand, Andaman Sea

The attached mosaics of side scan sonar data were recorded during 3 field campaigns in 2007, 2008 and 2010. High backscatter values are represented by darker colours. The mosaic is georeferenced in EPSG:32647 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 47N. Please refer to Feldens, P.; Schwarzer, K.; Sakuna, D.; Szczuciński, W.; Sompongchaiyakul, P.
