Processed near-bottom Multibeam Sonar Data (version 1) from the Gulf of Mexico acquired with AUV Sentry during the Atlantis expedition AT18-03 (2010)

This data set was acquired with a Reson SeaBat 7125 Multibeam Sonar system on the AUV Sentry during Atlantis expedition AT18-03 conducted in 2010 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher). These data files are of MBSystem 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): Acute Response of Benthic Hard Bottom Communities to Oil Exposure in the Deep Gulf of Mexico.本数据集由搭载于自主水下航行器（Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV）Sentry的Reson SeaBat 7125多波束声呐系统采集，采集工作于2010年开展的亚特兰蒂斯号考察航次AT18-03期间完成，首席科学家为查尔斯·费舍尔博士。该数据集文件采用MBsystem格式存储，包含声学背散射数据与条带测深数据，并通过开源的MB-System多波束声呐处理软件在海上完成数据处理。本数据集的采集工作隶属于「墨西哥湾深水区硬质底栖群落对石油暴露的急性响应」研究项目。
