Processed Near-Bottom AUV Sentry Bathymetric Sonar Maps (PDF format) from the NE Lau Basin acquired during the Falkor expedition FK171110 (2017)

This data set was acquired with a Reson SeaBat 7125 Multibeam Sonar on AUV Sentry during R/V Falkor expedition FK171110 conducted in 2017 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Kenneth Rubin, Investigators: Susan G. Merle, Dr. William Chadwick, Dr. Kenneth Rubin). These data files are bathymetric maps in PDF format and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Underwater Fire: Studying the submarine volcanoes of Tonga; Temporal/spatial scales of mantle wedge composition and processes investigated with young boninites and basalts from the unusually active NE Lau Basin. Ship time was provided by Schmidt Ocean Institute and additional funding was provided by NSF Award(s): OCE15-38121.

本数据集由搭载于自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle，AUV）"Sentry"号的Reson SeaBat 7125多波束声呐采集，采集工作于2017年开展的FK171110航次中完成，该航次由Falkor号科考船执行，首席科学家为Kenneth Rubin博士，研究人员包括Susan G. Merle、William Chadwick博士与Kenneth Rubin博士。本数据集包含PDF格式的水深地形图，所有数据均在采集后完成了处理工作。本次数据采集隶属于以下两项研究项目：《水下之火：汤加海底火山研究》；《利用异常活跃的东北劳盆地产出的年轻玻安岩与玄武岩，探究地幔楔组成与作用过程的时空尺度》。本次航次的船时资源由施密特海洋研究所（Schmidt Ocean Institute）提供支持，额外研究经费由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）资助项目OCE15-38121提供。
