Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) from the Ross Sea acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9801 (1998)

This data set was acquired with a SeaBeam Instruments model 2112 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP9801 conducted in 1998 (Chief Scientist: Dr. John 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. These data are included in the GMRT Synthesis, beginning with version 1. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Timing of Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and funding was provided the U.S. National Science Foundation.

该数据集于1998年开展的Nathaniel B. Palmer考察队NBP9801航次中，通过SeaBeam Instruments公司2112型多波束声呐系统采集（首席科学家：John Anderson博士）。数据文件包含声学反向散射（Acoustic Backscatter）、侧扫声呐（Sidescan）、条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据，并在海上利用开源MB-System多波束声呐处理软件完成处理。这些数据自版本1起被纳入GMRT综合数据集（GMRT Synthesis）。数据采集是“西南极冰盖退缩时间”项目的组成部分，资金由美国国家科学基金会提供。
