Raw ship-based Multibeam Sonar Data acquired during R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0305A (2003)

This data set was acquired with a ship-based Kongsberg EM120 Multibeam Sonar system during Nathaniel B. Palmer expedition NBP0305A conducted in 2003 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Walker Smith). These data files are of MBSystem Compatible format and include Acoustic Backscatter, Swath Bathymetry, and Sidescan data that have not been processed. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Interannual Variability in the Antarctic-Ross Sea (IVARS): Nutrients and Seasonal Production, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): ANT00-87401.

本数据集依托船载康士伯（Kongsberg）EM120多波束声呐系统采集，采集工作于2003年开展的“内森尼尔·B·帕尔默”号科考航次NBP0305A期间完成，本次航次首席科学家为沃克·史密斯（Walker Smith）博士。数据文件采用MBsystem兼容格式，包含未经过处理的声学背散射、条带测深及侧扫数据。本数据集采集工作隶属于“南极罗斯海年际变异性（IVARS）：营养盐与季节生产力”研究项目，项目资金由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）资助，资助编号为ANT00-87401。
