Raw swath bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data acquired near-bottom in 2016 from the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea with MBARI mapping AUV on Arctic Ocean mission 20160929m1

This swath bathymetry data set was collected with a Reson SeaBat 7125 multibeam sonar system on MBARI Mapping AUV mission 20160929m1 in 2016. The data files are in Reson s7k format (compatible with MB-System as mbio format 88) and contain raw swath bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data. The AUV survey mission was conducted during the 2016 CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier IOS cruise 2016-13 in the Beaufort Sea (Cruise Chief Scientist - Humfrey Melling, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; project PI - Charlie Paull and investigators: Dr. David Caress and Eve Lundsten, MBARI). Data were acquired as part of a collaborative research project between MBARI, the Geological Survey of Canada, and Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Funding for the AUV mapping was provided from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

本套条带测深（swath bathymetry）数据集于2016年采集，采集设备为Reson SeaBat 7125多波束声呐系统，采集平台为蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所（MBARI, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute）测绘用自主水下航行器（AUV, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle）任务20160929m1。数据文件采用Reson s7k格式（兼容MB-System的mbio格式88），包含原始条带测深与声学背散射数据。本次自主水下航行器测绘任务依托2016年加拿大海岸警卫队"威尔弗里德·劳里耶爵士"号（CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier）IOS航次2016-13在波弗特海开展，航次首席科学家为加拿大渔业与海洋部的Humfrey Melling，项目负责人为Charlie Paull，研究人员包括MBARI的David Caress博士与Eve Lundsten。本数据集为MBARI、加拿大地质调查局与加拿大渔业与海洋部合作研究项目的组成部分。本次自主水下航行器测绘工作的资助由戴维与露西尔·帕卡德基金会（David and Lucile Packard Foundation）提供。
