Processed submersible Multibeam Sonar Images (version 1) from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - Rainbow Vent Field acquired during the Roger Revelle expedition KNOX18RR (2008)

This data set was acquired with a Imagenex 837 Delta T Multibeam Sonar system on the ROV Jason II during Roger Revelle expedition KNOX18RR conducted in 2008 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Anna-Louise Reysenbach; Investigator(s): Dr. Vicki Ferrini). These data files are of PNG format and include images of Swath Bathymetry data that were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Diversity and Distribution of Thermoacidophiles and Hydrogen Oxidizers at Deep-sea Hydrothermal Vents, Organic Geochemical Investigation of Mid-Atlantic Ridge Hydrothermal Systems, In-Situ Chemical Sensors for Monitoring the Chemistry of Hydrothermal Vent Fluids at Mid-Ocean Ridges: Instrument Development and Field Applications, and Mid-Atlantic Ridge 2008 - Cruise Wesbsite, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE05-25907, OCE05-49829, OCE05-50800, and OCE07-28391. This data was cited by Seyfried et al., 2011.本数据集由Imagenex 837 Delta T多波束声呐系统（Imagenex 837 Delta T Multibeam Sonar system）搭载于遥控无人潜水器（Remotely Operated Vehicle，ROV）杰森二号（Jason II），于2008年执行的罗杰·雷维尔号（Roger Revelle）考察航次KNOX18RR期间采集；本次航次首席科学家为Anna-Louise Reysenbach博士，研究人员包括Vicki Ferrini博士。本数据集文件格式为PNG（Portable Network Graphics），包含数据采集后经处理的条带测深（Swath Bathymetry）图像。本数据集的采集隶属于以下多项研究项目：深海热液喷口嗜热嗜酸菌及氢氧化菌的多样性与分布、大西洋中脊热液系统有机地球化学研究、用于监测洋中脊热液喷口流体化学的原位化学传感器：仪器开发与现场应用，以及2008年大西洋中脊航次官方网站。本研究获得美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）资助，资助编号为OCE05-25907、OCE05-49829、OCE05-50800及OCE07-28391。本数据集已被Seyfried等人于2011年引用。
