Near-bottom Multibeam Sonar Data from the Lau Back-arc Basin acquired with AUV ABE during the Kilo Moana expedition KM0417 (2004)

This Bathymetry data set was acquired with a Simrad SM2000 Multibeam Sonar system on the AUV ABE during Kilo Moana expedition KM0417 conducted in 2004 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Langmuir). These data files are of Text File (ASCII) format. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): LAUB-FLEX: Deep Circulation and Dispersal in the Lau Basin using Floats, Integrated Hydrothermal and Petrological Studies of the Eastern Lau Spreading Center, and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 2 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-41716, OCE02-41785, OCE02-41909, OCE02-41913, OCE02-42114, OCE02-42618, OCE02-42675, and OCE02-42902.

本水深测绘数据集于2004年执行的基洛莫纳（Kilo Moana）科考航次KM0417期间，搭载自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle，AUV）ABE，使用Simrad SM2000多波束声呐系统采集获取，本航次首席科学家为查尔斯·兰格缪尔（Charles Langmuir）博士。本数据集文件采用文本文件（ASCII）格式。本次数据采集隶属于以下多项科研项目：LAUB-FLEX：利用浮标开展劳盆地深层环流与扩散研究、东劳扩张中心综合热液与岩石学研究，以及"Venture Deep Ocean"劳盆地科考航次（该系列航次共5个，本航次为第2航次）。本数据集的资助方为美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF），对应资助编号为OCE02-41716、OCE02-41785、OCE02-41909、OCE02-41913、OCE02-42114、OCE02-42618、OCE02-42675及OCE02-42902。
