This dataset contains seismic data from 17 OBS collected in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean during the SMARTIES cruise in 2019. 12 OBSs are located along the eastern Romanche transform and fracture zone, and 5 OBSs are located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The OBS data are vertical components and recorded in MiniSEED format. The data collection started from 2019-07-20T00:00:00 to 2019-08-16T24:00:00. This dateset includes raw data from OBS #10 to OBS#19. OBS#15 recorded no data. Data from OBS#1 to OBS#9 are available from a companion dataset. OBS#8 was lost.

Near-bottom multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter acquired at the Rainbow Massif (Mid-Atlantic Ridge). High-resolution bathymetry data (2 m/pixel) were acquired by the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) IdefX, deployed during the ARC-EN-SUB (https://doi.org/10.17600/18000663) cruise in May 2022. The dataset consists of grids for each individual AUV dive, as well as a global grid merging the ten completed dives. This global grid was obtained by manually shifting and combining original bathymetric grids of each dive using other datasets (primarily shipboard bathymetry from Paulatto et al. [2015]) for geographical reference. The combined grid shows the inter-dive shift artefacts, absent in the individual dive grids. Elevation grids are provided for each AUV dive without interpolation (fillgap 0), with medium (fillgap 3) and high (fillgap 15) interpolation.Acoustic backscatter grids are edited without interpolation (fillgap 0). All grids are provided in NETCDF GMT .grd format, and with two associated GEOTIFFS with the bathymetry DEM, the acoustic backscatter, and the hillshade (illumination) file. All grids are given in WGS84 (WGS 84 - WGS84 - EPSG:4326), in projection Mercator.

Videos recorded during the SMARTIES cruise with the Nautile cameras (fixed and mobile) during dives along the axial domain of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of Romanche transform fault. The following dives are part of this datatset: - SMA-1970 - SMA-1973 - SMA-1974 - SMA-1975 - SMA-1976 - SMA-1977 - SMA-1978 - SMA-1979 - SMA-1980 These videos illustrate different volcanic structures along the neo-volcanic zone of the ridge axis. The dives explored two non-transform discontinuities and two ridge segments between Romanche and Chain transform faults (RC-2 and RC-3). Dives SMA-1970 , SMA-1976 and SMA-1980 explored volcanic formations inside a large non-transform discontinuity between segments RC-1 and RC-2. Dive SMA-1978 explored the floor of the discontinuity between segments RC-2 and RC-3. Dives SMA-1973, SMA-1974, SMA-1975 and SMA-1979 explored different parts of the neo-volcanic ridge of segment RC-2. Dive SMA-1977 explored volcanic formations in the northern part of segment RC-3. The detailed study of these videos were published in Grenet et al., 2023 associated paper.
