Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) from the Southern Pacific Ocean acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9604 (1996)

This data set was acquired with a SeaBeam Instruments model 2112 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9604 conducted in 1996 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Bob Anderson). These data files include Acoustic Backscatter, Sidescan, Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): JGOFS Site Survey, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

本数据集于1996年执行的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默（Nathaniel B. Palmer）号考察航次NBP9604期间采集，所用设备为海梁仪器公司（SeaBeam Instruments）2112型多波束声呐系统（multibeam sonar system），该航次首席科学家为鲍勃·安德森博士。本数据集包含声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）、侧扫（Sidescan）以及条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据，且在海上作业阶段采用开源多波束声呐处理软件MB-System完成数据处理。本数据集的采集作为JGOFS站位调查（JGOFS Site Survey）项目的一部分开展，资助方为美国国家科学基金会（U.S. National Science Foundation）。
