Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0304C (2003)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0304C conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Steve Cande). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Production Observation Through Another Translatitudinal Oceanic Expedition (POTATOE) and Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Reconstructions of the Southwest Pacific, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP01-25172, OPP01-26334, OPP01-26340, and ANT03-38317.

本数据集依托船载康士伯（Kongsberg）EM120多波束声呐系统采集，数据采集工作于2003年开展的"纳撒尼尔·B·帕尔默"号（Nathaniel B. Palmer）科考航次NBP0304C期间完成，首席科学家为史蒂夫·坎德（Steve Cande）博士。本数据集文件采用MB系统兼容（MBsystem Compatible）格式，包含未经处理的声学背散射数据、条带测深数据以及侧扫数据。本次数据采集隶属于"跨洋平移科考生产观测（Production Observation Through Another Translatitudinal Oceanic Expedition, POTATOE）"与"西南太平洋晚白垩世及新生代构造重建"两项研究计划，资助方为美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF），资助项目编号为OPP01-25172、OPP01-26334、OPP01-26340以及ANT03-38317。
