Southern Surveyor Voyage SS 03/2007 Single beam acoustic data

This data set contains Simrad EK500 single beam echosounder data at 38 and 120 kHz and Simrad EA500 single beam echosounder data at 12 kHz from the Southern Surveyor. The EK500 data is primarily for water column characterisation (fish stocks, microplankton distribution) and on occasions for seabed classification (particularly prior to the EM300 swath mapper being installed), while the EA500 data is primarily for bathymetric readings.

本数据集包含搭载于“南方调查号”（Southern Surveyor）科考船的Simrad EK500型单波束回声测深仪（Simrad EK500 single beam echosounder，38 kHz与120 kHz频段）及Simrad EA500型单波束回声测深仪（Simrad EA500 single beam echosounder，12 kHz频段）采集的实测数据。其中EK500数据主要用于水体特征表征，涵盖鱼类种群、微型浮游生物分布分析，在EM300型条带测深仪（EM300 swath mapper）安装前，该数据偶尔也可用于海底分类；EA500数据则主要用于水深测量。
