Processed Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) from the Ross Sea acquired during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0209 (2002)

This data set was acquired with a Kongsberg model EM120 multibeam sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0209 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Steve Cande). 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): Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Reconstructions of the Southwest Pacific, and funding was provided by the U.S. National Science Foundation.

本数据集由康士伯（Kongsberg）EM120型多波束声呐系统（multibeam sonar system）采集，采集工作于2002年开展的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默号（Nathaniel B. Palmer）科考航次NBP0209期间完成，首席科学家为史蒂夫·坎德（Steve Cande）博士。本次采集的数据文件涵盖声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）、侧扫（Sidescan）以及条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据，且已通过开源多波束声呐处理软件MB-System在航次期间完成海上处理。本数据采集隶属于“西南太平洋晚白垩世及新生代重建”相关研究项目，并得到美国国家科学基金会（U.S. National Science Foundation）的经费支持。
