Between June 2014 and June 2015, high-resolution multibeam bathymetry and sub-bottom profile data were collected along a 180,000 km2 zone of the Southeast Indian Ocean seabed to aid in the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. This dataset represents the largest continuous high-resolution acoustic mapping effort for the Indian Ocean, improving the resolution of the ocean floor in this region from over 5 km2 to less than 0.1 km2.
