Processed sidescan data acquired near-bottom in 2016 from the continental slope of the Canadian Beaufort Sea with MBARI mapping AUV on mission 20160929m1

This processed sidescan data set was collected with an Edgetech 2205 sonar/sub-bottom system on MBARI Mapping AUV mission 20160929m1 in 2016. The data files are in MB-System-compatible format (mbio format 71) and contain processed sidescan 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 to understand slope stability. Funding for the AUV mapping was provided from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

本经过预处理的侧扫声呐数据集，于2016年搭载Edgetech 2205型声呐/海底地层剖面仪（Edgetech 2205 sonar/sub-bottom system），在MBARI制图自主水下航行器（AUV）任务20160929m1中采集获取。该数据集文件采用兼容MB-System的格式（mbio格式71），存储预处理后的侧扫声呐数据。本次AUV勘测任务隶属于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，作业区域位于波弗特海（Beaufort Sea）；本次航次首席科学家为加拿大渔业与海洋部的Humfrey Melling，项目首席研究员为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联合开展的边坡稳定性研究项目的一部分。本次AUV制图工作的经费由大卫与露西尔·帕卡德基金会（David and Lucile Packard Foundation）资助。
