Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during R/V Maurice Ewing expedition EW9605 (1996)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9605 conducted in 1996 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Bruce Appelgate). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter and Swath Bathymetry data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Time-Transgressive Deformational Effects of Oblique Underthrusting of Aseismic Ridges on the Puerto Rico Trench and Island Slope, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE95-03628, OCE95-04118, OCE95-04340, and OCE97-96189.

本数据集依托船载Atlas Hydrosweep DS型多波束声呐系统（Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar System），采集于1996年执行的Maurice Ewing号科考航次EW9605期间，本次航次首席科学家为布鲁斯·阿普尔盖特（Bruce Appelgate）博士。本次采集的数据文件采用MBsystem兼容格式，包含未经处理的声学背散射（Acoustic Backscatter）与条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）数据。本数据集为研究项目"波多黎各海沟与岛坡上无震海岭斜向俯冲的时间渐进式变形效应"（Time-Transgressive Deformational Effects of Oblique Underthrusting of Aseismic Ridges on the Puerto Rico Trench and Island Slope）的采集成果之一，相关研究经费由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）的OCE95-03628、OCE95-04118、OCE95-04340及OCE97-96189号资助项目提供。
