Processed ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data from the Woodlark Back-arc Basin acquired during the Maurice Ewing expedition EW9910 (1999)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Atlas Hydrosweep DS Multibeam Sonar system during Maurice Ewing expedition EW9910 conducted in 1999 (Chief Scientist: Dr. John Mutter; Investigator(s): Dr. Andrew Goodliffe). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter and Swath Bathymetry data and were processed at sea using the open source MB-System multibeam sonar processing software. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Natural Seismicity Investigation of Active Continental Breakup in the Western Woodlark Basin, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE01-17451, OCE01-18531, OCE01-18568, OCE97-30567, OCE97-30824, OCE97-30864, OCE97-30972, and OCE99-96317.

本数据集系1999年Maurice Ewing探险EW9910期间，由首席科学家John Mutter博士领导，调查员Andrew Goodliffe博士参与，利用搭载于船舶上的Atlas Hydrosweep DS多波束声纳系统所采集。数据文件采用与MBSystem兼容的格式，包含声学后向散射和测深数据，并于海上利用开源的MB-System多波束声纳处理软件进行处理。数据采集属于“西部伍德拉克盆地活跃大陆裂解的自然地震性研究”项目，并得到了由NSF（美国国家科学基金会）提供的资助，具体资助编号包括OCE01-17451、OCE01-18531、OCE01-18568、OCE97-30567、OCE97-30824、OCE97-30864、OCE97-30972和OCE99-96317。
