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.
