Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during the Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0207 (2002)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0207 conducted in 2002 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Steve Cande; Investigator(s): Dr. Steve Cande and Dr. Joann Stock). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan 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): Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic Reconstructions of the Southwest Pacific, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OPP98-15283.本数据集由船载康斯伯格（Kongsberg）EM120多波束声呐系统采集自2002年开展的内森尼尔·B·帕尔默号考察航次NBP0207，本次航次首席科学家为史蒂夫·坎德博士，科研人员包括史蒂夫·坎德博士与乔安·斯托克博士。本次数据文件采用MB系统兼容格式（MBsystem Compatible Format），包含声学背散射数据、条带测深数据与侧扫声呐数据，并于海上通过开源MB-System多波束声呐处理软件完成数据处理。本数据集的采集工作作为“西南太平洋晚白垩世及新生代重建”相关项目的一部分，经费由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）项目OPP98-15283提供支持。
