Processed swath bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data acquired near-bottom in 2013 from the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea with MBARI mapping AUV on mission 20131003m1

This swath bathymetry data set was collected with a Reson SeaBat 7125 multibeam sonar system on MBARI Mapping AUV mission 20131003m1 in 2013. The data files are in MB-System-compatible format (mbio format 88) and contain processed swath bathymetry and acoustic backscatter data. The AUV survey mission was conducted during the 2013 CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier IOS cruise 2013-22 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.

本条带测深（swath bathymetry）数据集于2013年通过Reson SeaBat 7125多波束声呐系统，采集自MBARI测绘自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV）任务20131003m1。数据文件采用兼容MB-System的格式（mbio格式88），包含经过处理的条带测深与声学背散射数据。本次AUV测量任务隶属于2013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科考航次2013-22，作业区域位于波弗特海；本次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。本数据集是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一部分。AUV测绘工作的资助由David和Lucile Packard基金会提供。
